Jurgen Klopp praised Sadio Mane after the Senegalese international continued his personal crusade against Crystal Palace to reach 100 goals for Liverpool.
Mane’s strike not only brought up his century in all competitions on his 224th appearance, it was also the ninth consecutive game in which he has scored against Palace — a Premier League record for a player against a particular team.
Klopp pointed out that Mane’s contribution is not all about his goals — he became the 18th player in Liverpool’s history to reach the mark, putting him level with Kevin Keegan who hit 100 in 323 appearances between 1971 and 1977.
