Liverpool striker Sadio Mane scores his 100th Premier League goal against Watford

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane scored his 100th Premier League goal against Watford today.

It came just a month after team-mate Mohamed Salah became the 30th player to bring up his century of league strikes.

Mane put the Reds ahead before halftime at Vicarage Road.

Mane has become only the third African player to reach 100 Premier League goals.

Former Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba was the first to the landmark in March 2012. It took nine-and-a-half years for him to be joined by another player from the continent, with Salah bringing up his century against Leeds on September 12.
