Sadio Mane happy with Liverpool goal 'after missing some chances'

Sadio Mane was delighted with his goal in Liverpool's 4-1 win over West Ham.

Mane concedes he should've netted before then - which included hitting the post.

“When we scored three and I missed the chances, in my head it was more important that we were winning," the Senegal international told Sky Sports.

“It was a good goal for me. I never doubt in football, you always have to be positive. That's what I try to do and finally I scored.

“We started well. It was not easy to score the first goal but we tried and tried again. In the end, we scored. That was the key – the game was a little bit open then.

“We tried again, created many chances and at the end got four goals, so we deserved to win."
