Chelsea's Edouard Mendy crowned best goalkeeper at AFCON after Senegal's final win over Egypt

Edouard Mendy has been crowned the best goalkeeper at the Africa Cup of Nations following Senegal's victory over Egypt in the final of the competition on Sunday.

The match went to penalties following a 120 minute stalemate, with Senegal being the better of the two sides from twelve yards, winning 4-2.

Mendy stopped Mohanad Lasheen with a superb save to his right to set the stage for Liverpool man Sadio Mane who kept his nerves to slot home, resulting in Senegal's first ever triumph in the competition.
