Mane had missed a penalty in the first half during Senegal’s AFCON final clash with Egypt.
The 29-year-old took a huge risk by stepping up again to play the last penalty kick for his side during the AFCON final clash with Egypt at the weekend.
However, Mane converted the spot-kick to ensure Senegal defeated Egypt 4-2 on a penalty shootout to win their first-ever AFCON.
The match ended in a goalless draw after 120 minutes.
But Morgan hailed Mane for his bravery to take the penalty, describing it as one of the best penalties.
“To miss a penalty in an international tournament.. and then win it later with one of the best penalties you’ll ever see… shows cojones of the highest order,” Morgan wrote on Twitter.
“Take a bow, Sadio Mane, and congrats to Senegal on their first Africa Cup of Nations trophy,” he said
