Sadio Mane says Liverpool must win to win the Premier League title in Man City | Football News

Sadio Mane believes that Liverpool must win the remaining six matches to have a chance to win the Premier League title.

Jurgen Klopp's men have two points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the standings after beating Tottenham 2 to 1 on Sunday, leaving Toby Alderweireld's last goal to decide the showdown at Anfield.

However, City still having a game in hand, the fate of the title remains in the hands of the defending champions and Liverpool could still be terribly short in a remarkable season in which they have lost only one time.

Mane admits there is no room for error at the moment. "To be honest, I think we have to win every game, even if it will not be easy.

"But we can always win every game because we are a good team and we play very well."

Liverpool's decisive goal against the Spurs was the third time of the season that the Reds scored a winning goal in the 90th minute or later, after the ball was deflected off Alderweireld after a mistake by Hugo Lloris.

When asked if fate had played a role in Liverpool's quest to win a first title since 1990, Mane added, "To be honest, I do not know because we still have a few games to play. is a good sign.

"That's what motivates you more and encourages everyone to say," Let's go, we can do it, "so I think it's still important.

"It's a very good sign and I think anything is possible, so let's do it and win it."

Mane may not have found the net against Tottenham, but he has scored 13 goals in his last 18 games for Liverpool, scoring just three goals in 17 games before the current round.

The Senegalese international has relieved teammate Mohamed Salah, whose eight-game losing streak is by far the worst of his short career in Liverpool.

"It's football, sometimes you score, sometimes not, it can happen," said Mane.

"But we do not forget that everything depends on the team.When the team wins, it is more important."
