In the 22nd minute, the egyptian had an opportunity to give the reds a 1-0 lead over newcastle, but martin dubravka read his effort. Salah used power over placement once more, missing four out of his last ten penalties. Dubravka parried away his spot-kick, which was almost in the middle of the goal. Trent alexander-arnold took the rebound, but he struggled to direct his effort as he fired over it. salah’s goal would have been his 150th premier league goal if he had found the back of the net.
Salah’s previous three attempts in his ten attempts came against arsenal one and bournemouth twice, with two of them costing him. Aaron ramsdale stopped the 31-year-old in april after a 2-2 draw, and neto in march after a 1-0 loss to the cherries. Salah would have been a fitting farewell gift from the reds, who are playing his last game before heading to the africa cup of nations in the ivory coast.
