Extraordinary scenes in Liverpool end after Sadio Mane scores dramatic winner at Aston Villa

Liverpool’s last-gasp winner at Villa Park sealed a vital three points on the pitch - and subsequently sparked wild scenes from the travelling Kop in the away section. 

The Reds looked to be heading towards their first league defeat of the season - and their first since early January - before Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane completed a dramatic turnaround in the final three minutes to maintain the club’s six-point gap ahead of Manchester City .

After Mané’s ball was converted by Robertson in the 87th minute, the Senegalese star sent Liverpool fans wild with his header in the 94th minute.



The celebrations from the 3,000 away fans was captured by Blood Red, and would continue after the final whistle with the players showing their appreciation after a huge three points.

The win means Liverpool have collected 31 points from a possible 33, and host City next weekend with the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points.
