Sadio Mane was struggling to get down the tunnel. First, he was almost swept off his feet by a massive bear hug from Jurgen Klopp.
Next came an embrace with Robbie Fowler standing by the touchline. And then, nearly out of sight, the Senegalese was almost completely enveloped by an ecstatic Alisson Becker who then gave his team-mate a few celebratory shakes.
Not for the first time at Aston Villa, Mane had delivered a header that helped Liverpool come from behind to claim three points and strengthen their Premier League title challenge.
