Mane makes Premier League history with latest Liverpool goal

Sadio Mane has made Premier League history, with his latest goal for Liverpool seeing him become the highest-scoring Senegalese star in English top-flight competition.

The 26-year-old forward first arrived on British shores back in the summer of 2014.

Southampton snapped him up from Red Bull Salzburg and were rewarded with 21 Premier League goals across two seasons.

That haul included a record-breaking hat-trick against Aston Villa in May 2015 which was recorded in just two minutes and 56 seconds.

It was efforts such as that which brought him to the attention of Liverpool, with the Reds treading a familiar transfer path to St Mary’s in 2016.
