Liverpool star Sadio Mane has admitted he got lucky with his late winner against Aston Villa.
The Reds battled their way past their Premier League rivals, with Mane’s dramatic goal coming after Andy Robertson had cancelled out Trezeguet’s first-half goal.
Mane glanced home a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross with just seconds to spare - with the ball trickling in.
And the Senegal international has expressed a belief that he was lucky, saying: "Today was not our best performance but we deserved the three points.

Arsenal saw their struggles under Unai Emery continue with a 1-1 draw at home to Wolves.
And Manchester United's recent winning run came to an end at Bournemouth, with Josh King striking to give the Cherries the win.
