LIVERPOOL (Reuters) -Liverpool forward Sadio Mane scored his 100th goal for the club to help secure a 3-0 victory over lively Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Anfield on Saturday. Mane turned the ball in from close range just before halftime as he claimed a Premier League record for the most consecutive goals against one club - his ninth in a row versus Palace. Physicality was immense and we had to be ready," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told SkySports. Palace also thought they should have had a penalty as Konstantinos Tsimikas appeared to trip Christian Benteke in the box as the former Liverpool forward attempted to reach a cross. He will be sweating over a calf injury for Thiago that forced the midfielder off in the second half, however.
