Liverpool striker Sadio Mane breaks Premier League Senegal record

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane broke a Premier League record during victory at Fulham.

Jurgen Klopp's men reclaimed top spot from Manchester City - in FA Cup action over the weekend - thanks to Sadio Mane's first half effort and James Milner's late penalty.

Senegal international Mane is in red-hot form for the Reds right now, with 11 goals in his last 11 games in all competitions.

And it ensured that Mane has now scored the most goals in a Premier League season by a Senegalese player in the history of the competition.

The ex-Southampton man's strike was his 17th of the campaign, surpassing Demba Ba's record of 16 for Newcastle in 2011-12.
