The Africa Cup of Nations final referee mocked Egypt star Mohamed Salah by offering him his whistle and cards after the Liverpool forward complained about the decision.
Salah endured a frustrating evening in Cameroon as his Egypt side lost Sunday night’s final to Senegal, with his Reds team-mate Sadio Mane scoring the winning penalty in a shootout win for the Lions of Teranga.
And during the first-half in Yaounde, Salah was complaining about a free-kick being awarded to Senegal, before official Victor Gomes offered him his whistle and cards, asking if Salah thought he could do better after his complaints.

Fans couldn’t hide their delight at seeing one of the best players in the world told off by the referee in such comical fashion.
One fan tweeted: ‘This is the equivalent of a teacher telling you “Why don’t you come teach over here” when u talking too much in class.’
Another said: ‘These man don’t care who you are AFCON refs finna disrespect you’
Meanwhile, one said: ‘The refs in the AFCON take no s***. I like them.’

Salah was left even more annoyed at the end of the game as he ended up on the losing side after a penalty shootout defeat.
Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved twice in the do-or-die showdown, leaving Salah unable to affect the shootout as he was Egypt’s fifth penalty taker – but the contest never got to that stage.
As Salah was left dejected on the pitch, he was consoled by Reds team-mate Mane who scored the winning penalty in the shootout – but Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher slammed the decision to put the Egyptian as the fifth penalty taker.

Sharing his thoughts on Twitter, Carragher said: ‘That is why your best penalty taker should never go fifth.
‘Mo Salah not taking a penalty for Egypt in a shootout in a final is madness. Also happened to Ronaldo years ago for Portugal v Spain.’
