      Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez scored a fabulous free-kick in the dying seconds as Algeria beat Nigeria to reach the Africa Cup of Nations final.

      With extra time looming, Mahrez ripped a devilish set-piece into the top corner to set up a showdown with Senegal in the final on Friday. 

      An own goal from William Troost-Ekong had handed Nigeria the advantage before former Watford forward Odion Ighalo dispatched a penalty to level the scoreline.

      Senegal, meanwhile, booked their passage to the final with a 1-0 win over Tunisia - the Teranga Lions progressing courtesy of an extra-time own goal from Dylan Bronn.
