Yves Bissouma was rewarded for his efforts in Limbe (main picture)
Yves Bissouma was involved in double late penalty drama as he earned man of the match honours at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Albion midfielder helped Mali draw 1-1 with Gambia.
Both goals came from penalties awarded after VAR checks.
Bissouma was pushed over away from the ball as a cross came in after he sparked an attack, allowing Mali to go ahead.

He was later penalised for what looked a debatable handball as Gambia levelled.
The result leaves Mali well-placed to progress from their group.
