Liverpool attacker Mane: I've put last season behind me

Sadio Mane has admitted he endured a problematic 2020/21 season.

The Senegalese insists those troubles are firmly behind him, having six goals already this term.

He said: "It was hard for myself but it was hard for the team and sometimes that's normal but that's all behind us now.

"I said from the beginning now that it can be a different season for all of us and you can see that.

"So hopefully we are going to go for the titles, which is our dream, that's what we are looking at and what we are working for."

On scoring in the 5-0 win over Watford on Saturday, Mane said: "I think we started very well, played really well, created many chances and scored five goals. We deserved to win.

"I've always said it's very easy to play up front with these two guys. They are two of the best players in the world and I think we cause defences many problems.

"I think by moving quick, dropping deep, making runs and that makes the difference. Hopefully we are going to keep going like this and score as many goals as we can for the team until the end of the season."
