Liverpool ace Sadio Mane was always confident they would beat Tottenham on Sunday.

The Reds came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Anfield and moved six points clear at the top of the table.

Harry Kane had given the visitors the lead inside one minute, but Jordan Henderson levelled proceedings at the start of the second half.

Mohamed Salah then completed the turnaround when he hammered home a penalty after Mane had been brought down by Aurier inside the box.

Mane said: "I was thinking 'we're going to come back'.

"We pushed as a team and after a great many chances we scored the two goals. We deserved to win."

On the spot-kick incident, he added: "It was a clear penalty. I tried to put my leg between him and the ball, and it was unlucky for Serge Aurier and lucky for me.

"It's too early to speak about the title, but sure, we want to win it."
