Senegal handed £143,000 fine by FIFA after Mo Salah was targeted with dozens of lasers before he skied his penalty in the shootout defeat in Senegal... where Egypt's players were showered with missiles before and after the World Cup play-off

FIFA has fined Senegal's football federation £143,000 for disgraceful fan behaviour after dozens of green lasers were beamed into the face of Egypt's Mohamed Salah as he prepared to take a spot kick during a penalty shootout.

The star was targeted in the World Cup qualifier at the Diamniadio Olympic Stadium outside Dakar, the capital of Senegal, on March 29, following an 1-1 draw between the two countries, over two legs.

Unsurprisingly, the Liverpool forward blasted his kick over the bar with TV pictures revealing his face illuminated by vivid green light.
