A winner of the Golden Boot in 2018-19, alongside Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah and Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the No.10 has carried his stellar form into the new campaign.
Mane’s first-half breakthrough against Leicester City at Anfield last weekend was his 50th goal in the division for the Reds on his 100th Premier League appearance.
The Senegal international has already scored five times in eight league outings this season, increasing his strike rate from 0.6 goals per 90 minutes to 0.7 so far this term.
He has scored a goal every 122 minutes, reduced from one every 140 minutes across the previous campaign, and improved his shot conversion rate to 26.
