• What Klopp Said About Mane’s Angry Reaction To Being Substituted vs Burnley

He was frozen out of the Chelsea team last season under the managerial reign of Italian tactician Maurizio Sarri.

Danny Drinkwater was told by the then Chelsea manager that he’s not part of his plans.

He played just one game for Chelsea throughout last season.

The same thing happened to him when Frank Lampard replaced Maurizio Sarri as the Chelsea manager this summer.

The English midfielder was involved with Chelsea and manager Frank Lampard during preseason before he was told to look for a new club by the newly appointed Blues’ boss.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has had his say on the angry reaction from star forward Sadio Mane shortly after he was substituted during the Premier League clash at the home of Burnley on Saturday evening.

Klopp told Sky Sports after the Burnley game that the angry reaction from Sadio Mane was not because of his substitution and that the cause will be addressed in the dressing room.

Sadio Mane was subbed off for Divock Origi towards the end of the game which ended in a comfortable 3-0 win for Liverpool.

The Senegalese international was said to have been infuriated by teammate Mohamed Salah who refused to pass to him when he had a very good chance to score another goal for Liverpool.

He scored the second goal of the game four minutes after Burnley striker Chris Woods had put through his own net for the opening goal in the first half.

Roberto Firmino added a third goal in the second half to wrap up the points for the Merseysiders.

The Premier League champions got their goals through Sergio Aguero (2), Kevin De Bruyne and second half substitute Bernardo Silva.

Liverpool reacted to the Manchester City result with a dominant win at the home of Burnley.

With the result, Liverpool broke their record of successive victories in the league.

They have won their last 13 league games thereby beating the record set in 1990 (12 straight wins).

The last league game that didn’t end in victory for Liverpool was the Merseyside Derby on the 3rd of March.
