Mohamed Salah apologises to young fan for scoring late against Tunisia

Mohamed Salah has tendered his apology to a young girl who requested an early goal from the Liverpool star in Egypt's win over Tunisia in Alexandria.


The girl tweeted a photo where she held aloft a poster that read: "Salah please score. I want to go home, I have homework."
Salah would however score, but his goal - a well-taken one which involved a one-two with Salah Mohsen, nutmeg and cheeky chip over Tunisia goalkeeper, came in the 90th minute to help the Pharaoh clinch a 3-2 victory in the African Cup of Nations qualifier.

Salah - who moved past legendary Egyptian playmaker Mohamed Aboutrika in the national team scorers' chart to third with 39 goals in 62 appearances - then responded after the game, tendering his apology.

The Goal 50 star replied: “I really tried to let you go home early, and sorry to have kept you here until the last minute. I hope your teacher tomorrow understands the situation.”
