Sadio Mane praises Liverpool "team spirit" after opening-day win

Liverpool winger Sadio Mane has claimed that the "team spirit" within the camp can launch the club to success this season.

The 24-year-old helped the Reds kick off their season with a win by scoring his first Premier League goal for the club in Sunday's 4-3 victory over Arsenal.

Mane joined the Merseyside outfit from Southampton earlier this summer for a fee reported to be in the region of £30m.

"I am really happy to score my first Premier League goal for Liverpool," Mane told the Liverpool Echo. "I hope I will continue to find pleasure and give pleasure on the pitch too.

"There's a very good team spirit and the coach (Jurgen Klopp) is trying to help us give our best. I think this is important. I'm close with everyone. I'm just trying to give what I can. I'm impressed by them because we have a great team with big quality.

"We're trying to work on the pitch and in training by listening to the coach. Now we have to do it as a team and I think [if we do that] everything is going to go well for us and we'll be successful."

Liverpool's next game is away to Burnley this Saturday.
