The Reds' attacker earned another milestone with his strike against Fulham on Sunday.

For the umpteenth time this season, Sadio Mane's impressive goalscoring form proved to be very crucial for Liverpool in the quest for the Premier League title. The 26-year-old attacker drew first blood for the Reds in Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham and, as a result, landed himself another milestone in the competition.

Despite his opener, ex-Liverpool star Ryan Babel gave the Reds a scare after he capitalized on a defensive error by Virgil Van Dijk and Allison to draw the game level. However, James Milner's subsequent spot-kick proved to be enough to propel the Merseysiders to the top of the league table. 

For Sadio Mane, the day's feat meant that he has now surpassed ex-Newcastle and Chelsea forward Demba Ba as the Senegalese player with the most goals in a single league campaign. Prior to kick-off Sunday's encounter at the Craven Cottage, the pair were tied at 16 goals apiece with Ba amassing his tally in the 2011/2012 season.

Furthermore, Mane took his tally in the Premier League in 2019 to nine goals – becoming the calendar year's joint-top scorer with Sergio Aguero. He also became the second African player to score 40 or more goals for Liverpool in the Premier League after Mohamed Salah.
