'What a joke' - Fans raging after Fantasy Premier League decision over Liverpool star Sadio Mane

Liverpool kept the pressure on title rivals Man City this weekend, as they powered to a 5-0 win against Huddersfield at Anfield.

Braces from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, adding to a first minute Naby Keita strike, made sure the Reds stayed hot on the heels on City with two games left to play, with just one point between them.

As always, the Fantasy Premier League took the opportunity to award a few of the Liverpool players bonus points for some outstanding individual performances.

The FPL award bonus points after the game to a select number of players for their performances during the game, based on their stats over the 90 minutes.

However, not all fans were happy after the result, because there was real controversy about the bonus points that were awarded after the game.

Despite scoring two goals and putting in a fantastic performance, Mane was snubbed in terms of bonus points, as Salah, Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold received them instead.

This left some fans furious with the FPL's decision - and they couldn't hide their rage on Twitter.

Did you have Sadio Mane in your Fantasy Premier League team this week?

If so, better luck next week...
