Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed Sadio Mane's bicycle-kick goal in the Reds' 3-1 victory over Norwich City on Saturday.

Mane scored a 64th-minute bicycle-kick against Dean Smith's side to bring Liverpool level after Milot Rashica (48') put the Canaries ahead at Anfield Stadium.

He's in the mood - Klopp on Mane

The Liverpool manager also praised Mane for his finishing abilities, referring to the 29-year-old as a 'world-class striker.'

Klopp enthused: "Sadio's record is insane as well. His goal today shows the whole range he can do. Today he helped the team massively. He's a world class striker, wherever he will play. It's really helpful to have him here."
