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.

Amazing players that don't produce their best in finals.

Mohamed Salah endured an uncharacteristically quiet performance as Liverpool lost the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle.The Reds’ superstar attacking talisman unusually struggled to register any sort of meaningful impact during Sunday’s showpiece fixture at Wembley as they went down 2-1 after substitute Federico Chiesa’s stoppage-time goal was not enough to inspire a last-gasp fightback after efforts either side of half-time from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak.
