Jurgen Klopp can't understand Sadio Mane moments from Liverpool's win over Wolves

Jurgen Klopp has hailed his Liverpool stars following a convincing 4-0 win over Wolves on Sunday - and admits he's still left in awe of Sadio Mane.

Mohamed Salah, Gini Wijnaldum, Joel Matip and a Nelson Semedo own goal secured the win for Liverpool in front of a returning 2000 fans at Anfield.

The three points move Liverpool back up to second, joint on 24 points with Premier League leaders Tottenham.

After the game, Klopp highlighted a number of individuals who contributed to the win - and went on to explain why Mane still leaves him baffled.

“There were plenty of sensational individual performances," said Klopp. "The young boys were really great.

“Neco Williams, we only took him off because the plan of Wolves was obviously to bring (Adama) Traore on to the left wing so that if Neco makes one more foul, maybe he gets a second yellow. He played really, really good.

“Sadio had a few moments where he controlled the ball where I still don’t understand how he can do those kind of things.

“There were a lot of good performances and that’s how you can win a football game.”

Mane was close himself to getting on the scoresheet but it was his touch that led to Semedo's own goal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who returned from injury to feature as a substitute, whipped in a devilishly good ball from the right flank.

Both Salah and Mane busted their guts to get there but it was the Senegalese forward who got the vital touch as the Wolves defender bundled the ball into the back of the net.
