Unprecedented Miss: Mo Salah Fails to Convert Crucial One-on-One against Iversen in Leicester v Liverpool Clash
In a Premier League encounter against Leicester, Mo Salah found himself in an unusual position. With Liverpool on the verge of securing victory, Salah missed a clear-cut opportunity to extend their lead even further. The Egyptian star, who had already notched up three assists in the game, had a golden chance to add a goal to his impressive performance.
After Trent Alexander-Arnold’s thunderous strike in the 71st minute, Salah was brilliantly played through on goal by Cody Gakpo. With only Daniel Iversen to beat, it seemed inevitable that Salah would increase his season tally of 31 goals. However, in a shocking turn of events, he shockingly put his effort wide.
Fortunately for Salah, Liverpool’s dominant position in the match meant that his miss could be shrugged off with laughter rather than frustration. However, it serves as a reminder for the Egyptian forward not to take such chances lightly, especially in upcoming games against Aston Villa and Southampton where the stakes may be higher.
