Salah scores twice as Egypt reach 2017 Africa Cup of Nations

Mohamed Salah scored twice against Tanzania on Saturday to secure Egypt's place in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Egyptian forward struck both of his side's goals at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar Es Salaam. Salah broke the deadlock in Tanzania moments before the break with a free-kick, before adding a second following a strong run on the hour mark.

Salah was Roma's top scorer in 2015-16 with 15 goals in 42 matches and he has now helped his country to qualify for the continental finals after a six-year absence.

Egypt's previous Cup of Nations appearance came in 2010, when they went on to lift the trophy.
