Burkina Faso 1-3 Senegal: Sadio Mane on scoresheet as Senegal reach Afcon final

Senegal are through to their third Africa Cup of Nations final with Sadio Mane on target to help them overcome Burkina Faso.

In an eventful game, VAR chalked off two Senegal penalties, with Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Koffi injured during the events of the first.

Abdou Diallo and Idrissa Gueye put Senegal in charge before Blati Toure narrowed the deficit late on.

But Mane chipped in to settle victory for the tournament favourites.

It was Mane's 29th goal for his country, taking him level with Henri Camara at the top of their all-time scorer list.
