Mané stresses need for consistency

Sadio Mane admits Liverpool cannot afford any more inconsistency if they want to qualify for the Champions League.

The 3-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield lifted Jurgen Klopp's side back into the top four and dropped their opponents out of it.

With the situation so tight at the top - sixth-placed Manchester United are three points behind with a match in hand - Mane said there is no more room for slip-ups like Monday's 3-1 defeat at Leicester.

"We have 11 games so we will try to concentrate on them all," said the Senegal international.

"It was very important for us to win this game because last Monday's game was disappointing.

"For us it will be very important to be consistent now if we are to go up another level.

"We have to work hard."
