After Sadio Mane netted his 100th Premier League goal at the weekend, Sports Mole looks at the exclusive club he has joined in reaching a century.

Sadio Mane's strike for Liverpool against Watford on Saturday saw him join an exclusive club of players to have netted 100 goals in the Premier League.

The Senegalese winger became the 31st member of the 100 club, and just the third to have reached triple figures without scoring a single penalty along the way - emulating Les Ferdinand and Emile Heskey.

Mane is also just the third African player to notch up a century of Premier League goals, following in the footsteps of Didier Drogba and Anfield teammate Mohamed Salah - the latter being the most recent inductee to the 100 club before Mane himself.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the players Mane has joined in the list of the Premier League's greatest ever goalscorers.
