​A stunning compilation of Sadio Mane's scintillating outing for Liverpool against Manchester City in the FA Cup shows he's the man for the big occasion. 

​Mane scored a brilliant brace in his side's 3-2 victory over Man City at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. 

He was in blistering form in the first half of their semi-final clash, bagging two goals in a showing that earned him 'Man of the Match'.

Mane doubled Liverpool's lead after pouncing on Zack Steffen​'s terrible mistake. He then bagged his team's third goal after volleying a terrific strike into the back of the net.

But it wasn't just his goals that saw him star for Liverpool as he was a constant threat in the attacking third, linking up nicely with the midfield and making darting runs. 

Twitter user @LuisDiazzler shared a video of the Senegal international's performance and it makes for incredible viewing. 

Liverpool fans online loved Mane's role in attack against Man City. 

One tweeted: "The man for the big occasion."​

A second wrote: "Mane always turns up whenever Salah goes through a goal drought."​

A third added: "The sheer audacity for Sadio Mane to hit that first time on the volley. Exquisite. So under appreciated for us."​


Liverpool's victory over Man City puts them on course to win the quadruple, with Mane touching on the idea of winning four trophies this season.

Speaking after the game, he said: "​I think it would be early to talk about winning four trophies, but for sure I think we have to fight for it because we have the team to fight for it and we will do everything possible to go for it.​

"We knew it would be a very tough game because Man City, if I don't say the best team in the world then for sure they are one of the best and we have to respect them.

The 30-year-old added: "Of course City are the best team in the world. Liverpool want to be the best team in the world, so we are working for it.

"We will see if we are going to be the best team or not, but we will go for it."
