VIDEO: Liverpool's Sadio Mane Scores 50th Premier League Goal With Superb Effort vs Leicester

Liverpool came into Match Week 9 with a chance to go eight points ahead of second-place Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's side did, however, have their work cut out for them at Anfield against third-place Leicester City, who might just be talented enough to finish in the top four when all is said and done. Well, the Foxes lived up to their lofty expectations and gave the Reds all they could handle in the first half. As is often the case with Liverpool, a moment of brilliance from one of their lethal attackers proved to be the difference. Check out Sadio Mane nab Premier League goal No. 50 of his career with a clever finish in a one-on-one with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the 40th minute.

As cool as you like from the Senegal international. Given his scintillating run of form this campaign, you just knew he was going to find the back of the net.

It would be foolish not to also credit Liverpool skipper James Milner who delivered a delicious ball with his left peg into Mane that played him beyond the defense.

Just like that, the Reds are up and running at Anfield.
