Premier League 100 club: Sadio Mane joins list of centurions

Premier League 100 club: Sadio Mane joins list of centurions

Sadio Mane's strike for Liverpool against Watford on Saturday saw him join an exclusive club of players to have netted 100 goals in the Premier League.

The Senegalese winger became the 31st member of the 100 club, and just the third to have reached triple figures without scoring a single penalty along the way - emulating Les Ferdinand and Emile Heskey.

Mane is also just the third African player to notch up a century of Premier League goals, following in the footsteps of Didier Drogba and Anfield teammate Mohamed Salah - the latter being the most recent inductee to the 100 club before Mane himself.
