Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Sadio Mane has a massive influence across the club.
Heskey believes the 24-year-old's influence extends beyond simply finding the back of the net.
"He was always going to be a miss, he's a huge, huge influence," the former Reds striker told lierpoolfc.com.
"He's a great player and when you get him back and he's scoring goals like that you're obviously going to say he was a huge miss.
"Just having him on the pitch is great.
"Down the years, we've always had players who have that influence [and] regardless if they're playing good, bad or indifferent they give you something mentally just by being on the pitch.
"He seems to be one of those players."
