Edouard Mendy’s crucial role in helping Senegal win their first Africa Cup of Nations

Edouard Mendy made a crucial penalty save to help Senegal win the Africa Cup of Nations over Egypt on Sunday night.

The nation won 4-2 on penalties after Liverpool winger Sadio Mane scored to secure victory, having missed a penalty himself earlier in the game before it ended 0-0 after extra-time.

It adds yet another accolade to Mendy ’s collection in what has been an impressive year for the shot-stopper, adding to his Champions League medal and a number of individual awards that he earned.
