Which players are still ahead of the Senegal forward in the Premier League’s scoring charts?
Getty Images29Darren Bent
Maligned during a tough spell with Tottenham Hotspur, Charlton Athletic and Sunderland fans will have much fonder memories of Bent, who scored 106 top flight goals.

One of three central midfielders on this list, Scholes evolved during his career, excelling both in a striking role and also, as his legs aged, as a deep-lying playmaker.
Magnificent in the build-up play, while also an expert at running late into the box to finish off moves, he registered 107 top flight goals.

Heading into his 30th birthday – and Liverpool's showdown with Manchester City – Mane currently has 107 Premier League goals, joint with Scholes in 27th place in the all-time rankings.
He's showing little signs of slowing down, and will back himself to make the top 20 before the year is out.

Boasted a touch to class and a technical edge, despite often being stereotyped as a one-dimensional target man, Crouch’s 108 goals are testament to his class.
