A maximum haul from their remaining six matches would give Liverpool 97 points – shattering their previous best haul of 86 points in the Premier League era.

“To be honest I think we need to win all of the games, even if it will not be easy,” Mane said.

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

“Sometimes it's difficult after the international break because we only had three sessions together. Everyone had been away but now we are back and we started with a win which is very important.

“We have three or four more days to train together to be like before and we'll go again.”

Mane believes the thrilling manner of Sunday's victory wll provide the perfect lift to the Reds' title bid.

Their never-say-die spirit came to the fore as Toby Alderweireld's last-minute own goal gave them a priceless three points.

“The late goals are a good sign,” Mane continued.

“That's what makes you more motivated and makes everyone say 'let's go, we can do it'. I think it's always important.

“This is a very, very good sign and I think everything is possible so let's do it and win it.”

Mane has been in outstanding form with 11 goals in his last 12 appearances for the Reds.

He's already equalled his 20-goal tally in all competitions from 2017/18 but he's more interested in points than personal accolades. Next up is a return to St Mary's to face his former club Saints

"That's football - sometimes you score, sometimes not," Mane said.

"It can happen but we don't forget that it's all about the team. When the team is winning, that's more important than who scores.

"To be honest, it was a really difficult game against Tottenham. We didn't create many chances.

"We have to respect them because they were very well organised and they played very good also. But I think the most important thing was getting the three points and that's it."
