AFCON: Mohamed Salah insists leading Egypt to glory would be proudest of achievement of his career

Mohamed Salah insists he is desperate to lead Egypt to glory at the Africa Cup of Nations because winning a trophy for his country would be closest to his heart.

Salah fired home the winning penalty in their last-16 shootout victory over Ivory Coast on Wednesday night, which saw Manchester United defender Eric Bailly miss the decisive spot-kick for the Elephants.

Now Egypt will turn their attention to Sunday's quarter-final showdown against Morocco, with a place against Burkina Faso or Tunisia in the last four to come for the winner.
