Mane shreds Tottenham with 2 goals in 138 seconds
Sadio Mane knows a thing or two about scoring in bunches.
The electric attacker - who holds the Premier League record for the quickest-ever hat trick when, as a member of Southampton in 2015, he scored three times in two minutes and 56 seconds - was back at it on Saturday.
Mane tore Tottenham apart in the opening exchanges of a one-sided contest at Anfield, the Senegalese star finding the net twice in just 138 seconds to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead.
15 - Sadio Mane has been directly involved in more PL goals than any other Liverpool player this season (11 goals, four assists). Quickfire.

Twitter reacted to the action by (mostly) taking aim at Ben Davies, who was terribly overmatched trying to slow down Mane on Liverpool's right wing.
And Mane destroys Davies for the goal. It was coming.

Eric Dier, whose lackadaisical pondering on the ball led to the second goal, also came under fire:
