A night to remember! Sadio Mane takes the AFCON trophy to BED with him while goalkeeper Edouard Mendy dances through the hotel corridors with jubilant team-mates after Senegal's shootout success over Egypt
Sadio Mane's prize for firing Senegal to the Africa Cup of Nations title was a night in bed with the winner's trophy.
The Liverpool winger showed himself in bed with his gold medal still around his neck and the AFCON trophy perched on his chest.
It was Mane who, having missed during the 90 minutes, sealed victory in a tense penalty shootout to create history with Senegal's first ever AFCON title.
Sadio Mane carried on his own AFCON celebrations by taking the trophy to bed with him
Rowdy team-mates, led by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, danced through the hotel corridors
While Mane was quite content to have a nap with his new pieces of gold, his team-mates were keen to keep the party going at their Cameroonian hotel.
Chelsea and Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy gave a peak behind the curtain on his Instagram late into the night.
A group of Mane's team-mates were captured singing and dancing through the corridors of their hotel - not allowing for much peace and quiet for the matchwinner to get much sleep.
It was Mane's decisive penalty that sealed victory so he was handed the trophy to look after
Having missed a penalty in the 90 minutes, Mane showed his composure to win the final later
With a microphone in hand the partying players sang in chorus as they looked to cherish a piece of history for Senegal.
In a closely-fought encounter against Mohamed Salah's Egypt, it was Premier League stars Mane and Mendy that came up big in crunch time.
Mane helped banish the memories of their 2019 failure when they lost the final to Algeria by converting the decisive fifth penalty in the shootout.
Goalkeeper Mendy had earlier saved from Mohanad Lasheen to give Mane the chance to seal the win.
Mane was named AFCON's Player of the Tournament while Mendy collected the prize for Goalkeeper of the Tournament.
While Mane was happy to sleep, his team-mates wanted to keep the party going at the hotel
Few of his team-mates would have begrudged Mane getting some alone time with the trophy in his hotel room having seen him play such a key role in guiding them to glory.
Over the course of AFCON he was directly involved in nine - six goals and three assists - of Senegal’s last 14 goals.
Mendy kept five clean sheets and both he and Mane will now return to England for the remainder of the Premier League season, as well as Champions League campaigns with Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.
