Sadio Mane has wasted no time in settling at his new club, Al-Nassr, following his swashbuckling display in the semi-final of the Arab Club Champions Cup.
The former Liverpool and Bayern Munich winger played a pivotal role as the Cristiano Ronaldo-led side pipped Iraqi champions, Al-Shorta, to reach the competition's final.
The 31-year-old Senegalese star won the Saudi Arabian outfit a penalty, which was converted by Ronaldo to secure their place in the last round on Saturday.
In a video shared on social media, Mane is seen making light work of Al-Shorta's defenders, with his best move being the moment he got their right-back on the floor.
