REST in peace, Neymar’s ankles. The Brazilian superstar was sold a dummy so well he was halfway to Manchester when Liverpool’s Sadio Mane put a stunning move on the PSG forward Wednesday morning. Mane, who’s overshadowed strike partner Mo Salah so far this Premier League campaign, showed up the man with the silkiest feet in the business with a stellar dipsy-doodle of his own. Liverpool’s number 10 shaped towards the byline but rapidly dummied and cut left inside Neymar, who was totally sold and left defending oxygen. Mane attempted to go on with it and flashed a speculative shot towards goal but he made poor contact off his left foot and sprayed it well wide.

The Brazilian was below par at Anfield and ended up getting done by the sort of skill you'd expect him to produce when running at a defender. In the 25th minute, the world's most expensive footballer found himself up against Mane on the right flank. As we know, Neymar doesn't really like doing much defending but he got completely and utterly ruined by Liverpool's No.10.

In the 28th minute, Sadio Mane picked up the ball on the right wing and found himself in a one-on-one with Neymar. The Brazilian is expert at feinting and tricking opponents, but got absolutely skinned by Liverpool’s no.10! Sadly, our Senegalese flyer fluffed his shot, as it would have been one of the iconic Champions League moments. Nice to see Neymar getting a touch of his own medicine.

So when you put the likes of Sadio Mane - who has started the season on fire by the way - up against Neymar, you just knew it was going to be fireworks. But such is Liverpool dominance at home and Neymar's reluctance to track back that you didn't really think they'd be facing each other directly too many times. And Neymar may well be even more wary to get back after a little exchange from last night. (Image: REUTERS) With 25 minutes gone Mane's pace down the left had already been causing a myriad of problems. And there was one more for the world's most expensive player. Up against Mane, the Brazilian tried his best to cover and block but a little shimmy sent him back to the beaches of Brazil. (Image: BT Sport/Twitter) (Image: BT Sport/Twitter) (Image: BT Sport/Twitter) Okay, decision-making in the final third wasn't the Senegalese's strong point last night so he didn't make the most of the opportunity. But what a piece of skill on the Brazilian megastar, which as you can imagine, Liverpool fans L-O-V-E-D... Yeah, Neymar didn't have the best of nights. One early crossfield run had Jordan Henderson and James Milner trailing in his wake, but he drilled a free-kick from a dangerous position into the wall. Wherever he went Milner or Jordan Henderson was not far behind and one first-half crunching challenge by the former had the Brazil international wincing. Showed his quality with the run and assist for Kylian Mbappe's goal.<doc-sep>
WATCH: Sadio Mane gives Neymar a taste of his own medicine Neymar, when upright, can do great things on a football field Whether you've watched him regularly over the last few years or just seen some of those YouTube compilations set to awful dance music, you'll almost certainly be aware of Neymar's reputation for making opponents look a bit silly with his exceptional skill and trickery. Rarely do we see the Brazilian served up a dose of his own medicine, yet at Anfield on Tuesday night, we saw exactly that. Liverpool were on top from the early stages of their 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain. Prior to Daniel Sturridge heading home their opening goal of the game, Neymar had dropped back to help his defence deal with the home side's relentless pressure. Unfortunately for him, he found himself facing Sadio Mane, who, with a drop of the shoulder and a quick shimmy, made light work of breezing past the former Barcelona forward and continuing his path towards goal. Just Sadio Mané sending Neymar back to the shadow realm 🔥 pic.twitter.com/KscCrxBNGQ — Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) September 18, 2018 Effortless. Sturridge's header and a penalty from James Milner gave Liverpool a two-goal lead in the first half, only for Thomas Meunier to halve the deficit for the French champions before the break. It remained this way until seven minutes from time when Kylian Mbappe looked to have rescued a point for PSG against the run of play. However, a late, late goal from Roberto Firmino saw Liverpool claim maximum points on the night. Jurgen Klopp's side now turn their attention to a home game with Southampton at the weekend before a League Cup and league double-header with Chelsea, who sit above them at the Premier League summit on goal difference. A difficult run of fixtures is followed by a Champions League trip to Napoli and a visit to Premier League champions Manchester City in the league.
