That enabled  Dominic Solanke to turn the ball into the path of Mane, who dinked a  clever close-range finish over Lee Grant.Solanke - in his first  league start for the club - should have doubled the advantage when he  was freed by Roberto Firmino's back-heel but, with time to pick his  spot, the young forward fired straight at Grant.He almost paid an  immediate price as Diouf latched onto a long ball, only to be tripped  just outside the area by the onrushing Mignolet.The goalkeeper  escaped with a yellow card despite denying the attacker what would have  been a certain goal, and the resulting free-kick came to nothing.Stoke  then received a reprieve of their own on the stroke of half-time, Mane  hitting the base of the left upright after being sent through one-on-one  by Solanke's pass.The run of chances continued after the restart  as Joe Allen's half-volley deflected narrowly wide off the fit-again  Dejan Lovren.And with Peter Crouch coming more into the match on  his first league start of the campaign, Mark Hughes' men began to mount a  greater aerial threat.Crouch's knock-down from an Erik Pieters  cross teed up Allen for another promising opening, but the fast-arriving  midfielder blazed well over the crossbar.   Klopp  responded to the slight loss of control by introducing Salah and James  Milner and the former quickly continued his hot run in front of goal,  volleying home Mane's cross to make it 2-0 with just over 15 minutes  remaining.And he only needed a further six minutes to double his  tally and complete a one-sided victory, outpacing Pieters and applying a  cool finish past Grant.</blockquote>
