Liverpool winger Sadio Mane joined Mohamed Salah in the Premier League 100 goals club as he notched his century goal in England's top-flight against Watford on Saturday. The Senegalese international took just nine minutes to open the scoring on the day as he converted Salah's exceptional outside of the boot pass. His goal was one among the five that the Reds scored as they thrashed Watford 5-0. Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino scored a hattrick, with Salah scoring the others.
Mane had already reached 100 goals in all competitions for Liverpool last month, a week after teammate Salah reached the Premier League 100 goals club. As a result, the 29-year old became the 31st player to reach the milestone since the inception of the league in 1992.
Sadio Mane's stats for Liverpool
Sadio Mane has delivered double-digit returns in seven successive Premier League seasons since his days at Southampton. The Senegalese winner scored 21 league goals in two seasons on the south coast before joining Liverpool in 2016.
