EPL: Mane ‘apologizes’ for leading Liverpool to 2-1 win over Southampton

Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane, has said “sorry” for helping to lead the team to a 2-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.

Mane broke the deadlock on his latest return to St Mary’s.

The Senegal international then laid the assist for Roberto Firmino to make it 2-0.

Mane left Southampton for Merseyside back in 2016, but still holds fond memories of his time with Southampton.

He told BBC Sport: “I’m sorry it is against my old team and sorry I have to score but I’m wearing a Liverpool shirt now.

“Southampton was a very good step for me, I have big respect for this club.

“It is an amazing place. I learned a lot here and they are very nice people. But it is part of football and you have to deal with it.”
