Luis Suarez was the latest to be leapfrogged – not that Sadio Mane knew it.
Mane’s second-half double at Stamford Bridge last weekend did not only provide Liverpool with a 2-0 win over Chelsea and three more Premier League points.
The brace saw the Senegal international make a landmark jump on the list of the club’s all-time top scorers, into the top 20 marksmen to have represented the Reds.
With 83 goals from his 173 Liverpool appearances, Mane now sits joint-19th with Albert Stubbins and is likely to bear down on the century mark during the course of the season.
