Patrick Vieira sends message to Cheikhou Kouyate after Senegal AFCON win

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira said he was incredibly proud of Cheikhou Kouyate and the Senegal national team for lifting the Africa Cup of Nations trophy on Sunday evening.

The Lions of Teranga won their first-ever AFCON title by beating Egypt on penalties after neither side had managed to score during 120 minutes of chaotic action.

Kouyate was part of the Senegal team that lost the 2019 AFCON final 1-0 to Algeria, making their win in Sunday's final even sweeter for the Crystal Palace midfielder and his teammates.
