Liverpool boss Klopp: Mane absolutely exceptional for winner

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Sadio Mane for creating the winner against Leicester City.

Marc Albrighton's foul on Mane in the area gave James Milner the chance to win the game from the spot in the 94th minute. It was Mane's chasing down a lost cause which originally created the chance.

Klopp said, "Exceptional, absolutely exceptional. I couldn't speak about one player who is not in a good shape at the moment, but of course it's very important Div came on, Sadio was still there [after] a really, really tough game and was still there to make these decisive runs. Div is in a sensational shape.

"So we are there and really in and around the situations, that's good. Without that, come on, we don't have to talk about that. We are not overly positive, it's not that I sit here and have problems to keep the arms down, to be honest. It's just we respect the hard work we have to do and so far so good, but 30 games to come."
