Salah Sets Unwanted Record as Liverpool Lose FA Cup Final to Newcastle
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.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
