SALAH SWOOPS TO SINK TUNISIA

- BY DARREN WELLS

MOHAMED SALAH bagged a last-minute winner in Egypt’s 3-2 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying victory over Tunisia.

The Liverpool forward struck his 10th goal in eight games for his country after playing a one-two with Salah Mohsen and lifting the ball over Tunisia keeper Farouk Ben Mustapha.

Naim Sliti opened the scoring for Tunisia in the 13th minute before Trezeguet levelled with a deflected shot.

Baher El Mohamady put Egypt ahead on the half-hour and Sliti grabbed his second before Salah’s late interventi­on to move Egypt top level on points with Tunisia in Group J.
