Liverpool ace, Mohamed Salah, on Sunday achieved an unwanted record following his side’s FA Cup final defeat to Newcastle United. The Egyptian international was unable to help the Premier League leaders as Newcastle won 2-1 at Wembley.

Micah Richards believes Mohamed Salah's struggles in the Carabao Cup final were linked to one key factor. Liverpool's star forward had a rare off-day, raising questions about the team's reliance on him.

For Mohamed Salah, a scorer of 32 goals in what looks to be a record-breaking campaign for Liverpool, that was again the case in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle United. For a forward who is on his way to recording one of the greatest individual seasons of all time in the Premier League came the anomaly of Wembley: a match where the 32-year-old did not have a shot or create a chance in Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat.
