‘To Russia with love’ – Idrissa Gueye over the moon with Senegal’s World Cup berth image

Idrissa Gueye is over the moon after Senegal clinched their place at next year’s World Cup with a 2-0 win over South Africa on Friday.

The Terranga Lions needed a win in any of their last two games against Bafana Bafana to guarantee them a first appearance at the showpiece since 2002.

A goal from Diafra Sakho and Thamsanqa Mkhize’s own goal sealed Aliou Cisse’s side participation in Russia 2018

And after helping his country qualify, with a game to spare, the Everton midfield enforcer took to social media to express his joy.

"To Russia with Love...," Gueye wrote on Instagram.

" #russia2018 #alhamdulillah."
