Liverpool boss Klopp: Mane's 100 goals have come from incredibly hard work

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to Sadio Mane after their 3-0 defeat of Crystal Palace.

Mane struck his 100th goal for the club on day.

Klopp said: "People obviously forget but around these 100 goals he worked incredibly hard, defended for us the wing, pressed high, counter-pressed, created goals, set up chances, all that kind of stuff. So the 100 goals are just one number, there are so many other numbers which are similarly important, but I'm really happy for him that he could reach that today.

"Yeah, a massive achievement. In the glorious history of this club only 18 players - if that is right - scored 100 goals, that says a lot. Nowadays players are usually not that long in clubs so I am really happy that I could work now already for five years with Sad and he's just a top player."
