Talk about going from hero to zero in less than 15 minutes!
Sadio Mane was en route to lead Liverpool to yet another win against Sunderland, as he had scored the Reds' second goal against the Black Cats with only 18 minutes left in regulation. Nevertheless, an untimely handball by Mane himself opened the gates for Jermain Defoe's penalty brace, causing Liverpool to drop points.
This draw might prove to be a huge blow to Liverpool's title hopes, considering that Chelsea could extend their lead by eight points if they can defeat Tottenham next Wednesday.
Mané's performance was the talk of the day, and his shaky performance had fans praising him one minute and then trolling him the next. Have a look at their best comments.
You may not see a more bizarre handball in 2017 than Sadio Mane's. He pleads innocence after basically slapping the ball.

Coutinho, Ings, & Sturridge injured. Mané out for AFCON. January signing more than likely happening.
