Premier League 100 club: Mane moves above Drogba as Salah closes in on top 20

Following braces for both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, Sports Mole looks at where the Liverpool duo now rank in the all-time list of Premier League goalscorers.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both helped themselves to braces as Liverpool hammered Leeds United 6-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The attacking duo joined centre-backs Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk on the scoresheet as Jurgen Klopp's side ran riot to move within three points of Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Mane's brace was enough to lift him clear of Didier Drogba in the all-time standings, now sitting level with Darren Bent and Raheem Sterling on 106 goals.

Salah is the only African player to have scored more Premier League goals than Mane, and he is now just two goals adrift of Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku in the top 20.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest standings in the Premier League 100 club following Salah and Mane's exploits.
