Liverpool FC v Burnley FC - Premier League

In a season when Mohamed Salah has been a tad inconsistent and nowhere near how good he was last year, Liverpool has found a new savior within their ranks. Sadio Mane has taken up the mantle at Anfield and charged his team's fortunes. He has ensured that Liverpool are still in the title race

The Senegalese has been on fire of late in the Premier League, where he has scored nine goals in his last nine games. Over the course of the season, Mane has 17 goals and 1 assist in 29 appearances in the league. The left-winger has been the top performer in the famous front three of Liverpool as the club aim to lift the Premier League trophy for the first time.

Mane has 20 goals and 1 assist from 38 games in all competitions and is certainly one of the best in his position.
