Mane picked the ball from the right side of the 18-yard box and sent it straight to the left bottom corner.
Phil Foden restored parity for the visitors barely 10 minutes later with a close range effort after receiving a delivery from Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian made a stunning move towards the edge of the 18-yard box before sending the ball to the Englishman who wasted no time before firing the ball into the back of the net.
Mo Salah's beautiful effort handed the Reds the lead for the second time in the 76th minute after mesmerising about five Man City stars before putting the ball into the back of the net.
