Incredible Mohamed Salah scores two, assists two and misses two penalties in incredible win

Mohamed Salah scored two goals, assisted a further two and missed two penalties as Egypt sensationally beat Niger 6-0.

The Liverpool forward was seemingly at the heart of everything in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier and it all started in the first minute.

The hosts were awarded a penalty inside 60 seconds but Salah saw his effort saved.

It didn’t take long for the Egyptian to make up for his miss, setting up Marwan Mohsen for the game’s opener on minute 13.

Ayman Ashraf doubled Egypt’s lead before the Reds winger saw yet another penalty saved. This time Salah took advantage of the rebound to stroke home his side’s third.

Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny wrapped up the 6-0 win.

Incredibly, Salah could have had a hat-trick in the dying minutes of the game. Mohsen only needed to square the ball to his team-mate who had an open goal but completely over-hit his pass.
