Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on Sadio Mane following Liverpool's win over Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Mane scored the decisive goal to keep Liverpool's Premier League title hopes alive.

And Klopp was effusive in his praise for Mane when speaking after the game.

"He's a machine, I told him after the game," Klopp said. "He is a massive player. His physicality is brutal.

"He is a mix of technique, desire and physicality when at the moment everyone has a few yards in the legs.

"You can see it with him to be honest. Top goal, he is just a fantastic world-class player."
