# Liverpool: Fans insist that Sadio Mane is better than Raheem Sterling

**Liverpool forward Sadio Mane netted two first half goals as the Reds came from behind to beat Newcastle 3-1 at Anfield and maintain their 100% start to the season. \[[via Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-newcastle/408024)\]**

The [Senegal winger](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/profil/spieler/200512)‘s double against the Magpies has taken him to [six goals from as many matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdaten/spieler/200512) so far this season, [the most of anyone in the Reds’ squad in the early weeks of 2019/20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liverpool-fc/leistungsdaten/verein/31/plus/0?reldata=%262019).

While current Liverpool winger Mane has begun the season in fine goalscoring form, so too has a [former Reds wide attacker at another Premier League club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/transfers/spieler/134425).

Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling has started the 2019/20 Premier League campaign with [five goals from his first four games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdaten/spieler/134425) prior to the September international break, during which he [scored twice for England](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/nationalmannschaft/spieler/134425/verein_id/3299) and [provided a hat-trick of assists against Kosovo](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/nationalmannschaft/spieler/134425/verein_id/3299).

Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher posted the simple question “[Mane or Sterling](https://twitter.com/carra23/status/1172847871852523520?s=21)” on his Twitter account [@Carra23](https://twitter.com/carra23/status/1172847871852523520?s=21) after the Senegal forward’s two-goal display against Newcastle.

These Liverpool fans on Twitter firmly gave the nod to the man who is currently at the club:
