Liverpool's Sadio Mane achieves rare Premier League feat during game against Leeds

Senegal star Sio Mane helped Liverpool secure a crucial victory against Leeds United on Wednesday. Mane scored two goals in game as Reds brought down Leeds by 6-0. In process, Mane also became first player in Premier League's history to score 10 goals in eight consecutive seasons. Mane has scored 11 goals so far this season. 

feat is so rare that only Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane could match. Kane has alrey scored 7 goals this season and needs just three more to match Mane's record. Like his Liverpool counterpart, Kane has also scored more than 10 goals for past seven seasons and if he manages to do same this year, he will join Mane in exclusive list.

Mane came on and scored a brace just as it appeared Leeds couldn't be humiliated any furr.
