Liverpool attacker Mane knew Wolves winner would stand

Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane insists he knew his goal against Wolves would stand.

Mane's 42nd minute winner eventually stood after it was originally disallowed due to handball.

"To be honest I thought I saw the ball from the beginning so knew it was the shoulder so I wasn't panicked; I was sure it was a goal," Mane told Sky Sports.

"Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are unlucky but it is part of football."

Mane added: "I think the frustration from last season is behind us.

"We know how to deal with this kind of situation. But this situation is a new situation, we are top of the table at the moment but not end of the season.

"We will still keep working hard to try to win games."
