2022 World Cup: Senegal sink Togo as Africa's qualifying resumes

Sadio Mane opened the scoring as Senegal beat Togo 2-0 on home soil to earn three points in their opening Group H encounter as Africa's second round of World Cup qualifying began on Tuesday.

After blazing over the bar in the first half, Mane played a neat one-two before poking home just before the hour as the Liverpool star took full advantage of his ability to represent his nation.

While Mane is free to play since his matches are in countries that are not on the British government's Covid red list, club colleague Mohamed Salah cannot play at home to Angola on Wednesday as Egypt is on the list.
