Mane now has another milestone in his sights after reaching 100 goals for Liverpool in all competitions.
He is only two goals from reaching a century in the Premier League, a feat achieved by team-mate Mohamed Salah only last weekend.
Mane is not the only Liverpool player who enjoys facing Palace. Salah's record is not bad either.
The Egyptian struck Liverpool's second goal against the Eagles.
That made it seven matches in a row that Salah has either scored or been involved in a goal against Palace that was registered as a Fantasy Premier League assist.
