Salah inspires Egypt to first-ever World Cup win

Mohamed Salah scored one goal and assisted another as Egypt came from behind to beat New Zealand 3-1 and record their first-ever World Cup win.

The Pharoahs had not won during appearances at the 1934, 1990 or 2018 editions of the tournament and, based on a somewhat insipid first-half performance, it looked as though that long run would continue, particularly after Finn Surman powered in the opener after questionable marking from a corner.
