Liverpool ace Sadio Mane has lifted the lid on his conversation with Andreas Christensen after the Chelsea defender was sent off last night.

Just before half-time and with the score level at 0-0, Jordan Henderson played Mane through on goal with an accurate long ball - prompting Christensen to wrap his arms around the Senegalese to bring him down.

Referee Paul Tierney initially handed the Dane a yellow card but upgraded the booking to a red after consulting the pitchside monitor.

And Mane - who went on to score both of Liverpool's goals in the 2-0 win - says he knew Christensen would be sent off after the review and even told him so.

"When he made the foul, I knew that it was a red card because I even told him, my friend, it was a red card," Mane told Sky Sports after the match.

"Then after, the referee gave him a red card, so it was lucky for us."
