Mane has been performing well in Liverpool’s lull, and made it 1-0 when he darted in front of Dan Gosling to put a header inside of the near post.
The goal made Anfield explode, a week of title consternation eased by the stadium’s heroes.
Wiljnaldum spun a classy chip over the top of Boruc to make it 2-0, an exquisite bit of work.
Mohamed Salah nearly put the match out of reach in the 45th minute, an inventive half volley nearly dipping over Boruc.
He would end it early in the second, with Roberto Firmino backheeling a Naby Keita set-up to Salah for a left-footed finish inside the 18.
