Frustrating Night: Salah Struggles as Liverpool Falls to Newcastle in Carabao Cup Final

Liverpool suffered 2 - 1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao cup final at Wembley on Sunday with Mohamed Salah enduring uncharacteristically ineffective performance.

Newcastle’s Decisive Goals

Dan Burn opened the scoring in the 45 minute before Alexander Isak doubled the Magpies lead in the 52 minute. Liverpool’s only response came deep into stoppage time through substitute Federico Chiesa in the 94 minute.

Salah’s Struggles in Finals

According to ESPN, Salah's now scored just 2 goals and provided one assist in 11 major finals with Liverpool. Notably both goals came from penalties including his 2019 Champions League final strike against Tottenham, meaning he's yet to score from open play in title deciding match.
