Mane on course to become a Liverpool god like Barnes, says Carragher


A Reds legend talked up the impact the Senegalese winger has had at Anfield after watching him inspire an impressive win over Chelsea

Sadio Mane is on course to become a Liverpool "god" like John Barnes, according to Jamie Carragher.

Mane opened his account for the new season with a brace against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, as Liverpool won 2-0 to extend their perfect start.

Jurgen Klopp's men picked up a nervy 4-3 victory over Leeds on the opening weekend, but were far more composed against the Blues, who were reduced to 10 men just before half-time after Andreas Christensen hauled Mane to the ground as he raced through on goal.
