SADIO MANE’s class shone through when he allegedly told a referee to disallow his hand-directed goal in Bayern Munich’s 7-0 rout over Bochum.
Bayern were already up 3-0 when Mane struck home with the help of his hand.
But the goal was ruled out when VAR spotted foul play.
However, it was Mane who raised the flag about his unintended misdemeanour, Benchwarmers’ Twitter account claimed.
Clips from the account show Mane pointing to his hand after the ball hit the net.
The 30-year-old’s commendable actions delighted social media users who flocked underneath the post to praise him.
