Mane grabbed his first when he flicked the ball away from a sliding Ron Vlaar challenge and scored past Shay Given at the second attempt.
His second came when a short backpass from Vlaar failed to reach Given and Mane nipped in to score into the unguarded net.
Mane then broke the record when he side-footed into the roof of the net from the edge of the box.
