In commemoration of his latest Premier League achievement, Liverpool and Senegal star Sadio Mane got a special present.

The boot supplier of Sadio Mane, New Balance, has gifted him a special pair of new boots after scoring his 100th Premier League goal.

The Senegal international set Liverpool on their way to a comprehensive 5-0 win over Watford on Saturday by scoring the first goal, which ensured him a place in the history books.

Not only did Mane become the 30th Premier League star to reach a century of goals, but he also became the third African player to do so after Chelsea’s Ivorian legend Didier Drogba and Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.

The fact Mane accomplished this feat without scoring a single penalty made it even more impressive.

So New Balance, who partnered with the 29-year-old back in 2018, has created a special edition of his ‘Furon v6’ boot. It includes a gold detailing across the soleplate. The words ‘‘100 goals’ have been added to the back of each boot.
