Liverpool's 100-goal Mane sets record against Crystal Palace: I'd love to play them every week

Liverpool ace Sadio Mane admits he loves playing against Crystal Palace.

Mane has admitted he would 'love' to face Crystal Palace every weekend as he continued his scoring streak against the Eagles.

Mane became the first player in Premier League history to score in nine successive matches against a single opponent, a run dating back to the start of the 2017/18 season. His goal in yesterday's win was his 100th for the Reds.

“I am lucky to score so many goals against Palace. Most important thing was the three points. Right place, right time. I am luck and happy," he told the BBC.

“Thank you to all the fans, club and staff. Without them I am nothing.

"I would love to play against Crystal Palace. I am lucky. It would be great to play them every single weekend.

“In my head I am always thinking it is possible. I will keep trying and trying and trying."
