Liverpool fans notice what Martin Tyler said after Sadio Mane's goal

Liverpool won their 25th match from 26 this evening as they beat Norwich City in the Premier League - but it was not only the incredible winning run that Reds fans were talking about at the final whistle.

Jurgen Klopp's players dominated possession and had the greater chances in the match, winning the game thanks to Sadio Mane's 78th-minute strike after he controlled a brilliant long pass from Jordan Henderson.

It was Mane's 100th goal in English football - with 75 of those coming in a Reds shirt - and it was his goal, and Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler's reaction, that got supporters commenting on Twitter.

Mane's goal was checked by the Video Assistant Referee - as every goal scored in the Premier League is - before it was correctly given.

And Tyler said 'VAR works for Liverpool' after the goal was confirmed.

Many fans commented on that, while Tyler was also criticised by some for sounding 'devastated' that the Reds had won again.

For Klopp and Liverpool, though, the main thing is that the Reds are five wins away from confirming themselves as Premier League champions.
