Sadio Mane showed a touch of class with a pre-match gesture towards Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah ahead of victory over Norwich City.

Both players scored in the 3-1 win on Saturday, their first together since Mane's Senegal defeat Salah and Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations final.

The two stars will also go head-to-head once again as they contest a World Cup playoff qualification spot.

Senegal will take on Egypt for a place in this year's finals in Qatar as they travel to the North African nation on 22 March before hosting the return leg in Dakar six days later.

However, Canal Football Club says Mane made a special request to Liverpool not to make any reference of him and Senegal lifting Africa's most prestigious tournament.

Mane is said to have made this request out of respect to Salah, who would have been hurting from his nation's near failure in the tournament.
