Salah sets unwanted record as Carabao Cup final

Browse By

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah had an unforgettable statistic from Sunday’s 2-1 Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle.

    At Wembley, the Magpies took the lead with two goals from Dan Burn, who headed home in the final minute of the first half, followed by Alexander Isak, who added a second in the 52nd minute, before the Reds pulled one back เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย in stoppage time through Federico Chiesa.

    From Liverpool’s disappointing performance in this game, Mohamed Salah found an unforgettable statistic that in addition to not being able to score or assist, the Egyptian national team player also failed to create any scoring opportunities. This is the first time in playing a full 90 minutes for Liverpool.

    Salah had just 23 touches of the ball throughout the 90 minutes, winning two aerial duels, completing one dribble and winning one free kick.

According to Opta, it was in fact the first time in his Anfield career that Salah neither attempted a shot nor created a chance when he has played the entire 90 minutes of a match.

Liverpool were eyeing a stunning treble this time last week. But Arne Slot’s side were knocked out of the Champions League in midweek before their Wembley defeat to Newcastle.

The Reds will, of course, win the Premier League barring a remarkable turnaround. With second-placed Arsenal currently 12 points behind in the title race.
