A number of Liverpool fans have been showing their love for Sadio Mane after his stoppage-time penalty earned Senegal a win at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Reds will have to battle their way through January without the 29-year-old, who is one of their three players away on AFCON duty along with Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita.
On Monday, Mane got his campaign up and running for much-fancied Senegal, as they took on Zimbabwe in the tournament in Cameroon.

It looked as though the Lions were going to suffer a frustrating afternoon, only for the Reds winger to win a penalty deep into added time before dispatching the spot-kick in nerveless fashion to seal a 1-0 victory.
After the match, Liverpool's official Twitter channel shared footage of the goal on a memorable day for Mane, as he became an even greater hero in his homeland.
