Sadio Mane thought he had given Liverpool the lead in the 38th minute of the Champions League match with Porto at Anfield but it was ruled out for the tightest of offsides.

The pass to put Mane in behind the Porto defence was played by the impressive Thiago who slid the ball through three players to put the Senegal international in on goal.

Mane kept his cool to slot home past the Porto keeper Diogo Costa.

As the players made their way back for the restart the disappointing news was the goal had been ruled out by VAR for offside.

Watch the goal here:
