Mohamed Salah set an unwanted record on Sunday after Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Despite his impressive form this season, where he has scored 32 goals and provided 22 assists in all competitions, Salah struggled to make an impact in the final. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak sealed the win for Newcastle, while Federico Chiesa managed to pull one back for Liverpool in injury time.

Salah had just 23 touches of the ball and failed to trouble Newcastle’s goalkeeper Nick Pope. According to Opta, this was the first time in his Liverpool career that he played a full 90 minutes without taking a shot or creating a scoring chance.

With the FA Cup dream over, Liverpool will now focus on the Premier League, where they sit 12 points ahead of second-place Arsenal. Their Champions League run ended earlier after a Round of 16 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
