Liverpool forward Sadio Mane scored a brilliant hat-trick to move three goals clear of former Wolves, Wigan and Sheffield United striker Henri Camara as Senegal's record goal scorer.
Playing against Benin, the talismanic Senegal frontman scored twice in the first half before completing his hat-trick from the spot on the hour mark with his second penalty of the game in the African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Mane went into the game tied with Camara on 29 goals, but needed only 12 minutes to net his 30th from a penalty after a David Kiki handball, before grabbing his 31st and 32nd to move further clear.

The gulf in class was evident between the two sides, with African champions Senegal fielding a side littered with top-flight talent, while former Huddersfield striker Steve Mounie was the only player from the Squirrels with any top league experience.
And Aliou Cisse's side didn't need long to double their lead with a fine finish from a Nampalys Mendy pass 10 minutes later.
