Mane Man

Sadio Mane this week achieved something that only Premier League goal machines Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane can match. 

The Southampton striker has certainly made a name for himself at St Mary's since his switch from Red Bull Salzburg in 2014/15 - and his hat-trick against an Aguero-less City this weekend took him to double figures in the Premier League. 

In terms of hat-tricks, Mane will forever be known for the amazing 2 minute and 56 second treble he hit against Villa last season, and his hat-trick against City (a slovenly 40-minute effort) means that only he, Kane and Aguero have scored back-to-back hat-tricks in both 14/15 and 15/16. 

Thus far, Sadio Mane, Harry Kane & Sergio Aguero are the only #EPL players to score hat-tricks in both 14/15 and 15/16. Treble Treble. #BPL

The Senegalese' three goals against City made him the twelfth player to score a hat-trick in the current Premier League campaign - though it should be noted that Argentine hotshot Aguero has one five-goal haul against Newcastle to his name, in addition to his hat-trick against Chelsea this season. 

#EPL hat-tricks in 15/16: Aguero x2, Carroll, Defoe, Kane, Kone, Mahrez, Mane, Naismith, Sanchez, Sterling, Wilson, Wijnaldum. #BPL

Mane now has Southampton's remaining two league games of the season left to over-take the 11 goals he scored last term. With ten strikes at the moment, the pacy attacker will hope to find the net against Tottenham (A) and Crystal Palace (H) to hurdle his 2014/15 tally. 

Sadio Mane has hit double figures in both of his seasons in the #EPL. He needs one goal to level his 14/15 total of 11. #bpl #saints
