Riyad Mahrez scored two excellent goals as Algeria sealed their place at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a 4-1 win over Togo.

Gambia beat Benin 3-1 on Saturday meaning a win for Algeria in Lome would guarantee them a place in the top two in Group D.

Mahrez opened the scoring after 13 minutes with a super left-footed strike after Togo’s goalkeeper had come racing out of his goal.
