Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has scored 10 goals in his past eight games for Egypt

Mohamed Salah scored a last-minute winner as Egypt beat Tunisia 3-2 in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

The Liverpool forward played a one-two with Salah Mohsen before clipping the ball over keeper Farouk Ben Mustapha for his 39th international goal.

He has now scored in each of his past eight international matches.

Naim Sliti scored twice for Tunisia, either side of goals from Trezeguet and Baher El Mohamady. Both sides have already qualified for Afcon 2019.

The tournament will be hosted in Cameroon from 15 June to 13 July, a change from the usual January/February schedule.

    This can not be right, my understanding was he was a one season wonder and yet he continues to score.

    How much did he cost Liverpool again?

    Love it. Nice one Mo.

    I don’t think he ever lost the ‘mojo’.. Even in these (very few) ‘barren’ matches where Salah did not score, he still created chances and had opportunities. Salah has an amazing ability to find space (by working REALLY hard to do so), and a few games where he returned to a normal human level and missed a chance or two don’t signify any loss of class - or ‘mojo’, terrific player...

    Mo is getting his mojo back, but did he ever lose it?

    Wait, Salah Mo(hsen) assisted a Mo Salah goal?

    Couldn't make this up. Cracking.

    46. You sound bitter mate. Liverpool are in the best place they've been for decades, making money on and off the pitch, world class players, players turning down more money at other clubs to join, new stands, some great English youngsters coming through, happy fans, a good manager, unbeaten in the league and near the top of the table, playing proper football.

    The clubs really in a mess eh.

    @19 Stephen Webster... That is one of the silliest posts I've ever seen on a HYS. What has the population of Egypt and Tunisia got to do with anything? Egypt alone has more than the whole of the UK. Should the BBC give up on all British football news because the audience isn't big enough for you? I guess you just dont like Liverpool but maybe it's Africans you have a problem with?

    @46 You could've just saved a lot of your time, and ours, by saying, "I don't like Liverpool."

    I thought he wasn’t in form ? Imagine when he does hit form !!

    For club and country, Mo Salah is a well-known difference-maker.

    The same 3 or 4 anti liverpool accounts been doing the rounds, good to see how much you dont care. 😂

    @19 What has populations got to do with a football result. So Egypt's population is more than 8x that of Tunisia's. Croatia's population is 4million, compared to England's 55million. They still beat us in the World Cup. On the pitch, it's 11 vs 11 (excl subs)
