Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah endured a frustrating evening on Sunday as his team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Despite his 32 goals and 22 assists across all competitions this season, the Egyptian star was unable to make an impact, with Dan Burn and Alexander Isak securing the trophy for Eddie Howe’s side.
Federico Chiesa managed to pull one back for Liverpool in stoppage time, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
Salah, known for his attacking prowess, struggled throughout the match, managing just 23 touches of the ball and failing to register a single shot or create a chance.
According to Opta, this was the first time in his Liverpool career that Salah failed to attempt a shot or create a scoring opportunity in a full 90-minute match for the club.
With their FA Cup hopes dashed, Liverpool will now focus on the Premier League title race, where they remain 12 points clear of second-placed Arsenal. However, their European campaign is over after being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
