Yakubu Ayegbeni hails Mane after 100th EPL goal

Ex-Nigerian international, Yakubu Ayegbeni has praised Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane after scoring his 100th Premier League goal in his career.

“To score 100 goals in the English Premier League is not easy not just one goal but a hundred that is something really special,” Ayegbeni said.

“I have always said it is not easy because I have been there before playing for over nine years in England and scoring goals week in week out.
