Liverpool FC experienced a setback that could cost them the league title on Saturday evening, drawing 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur in a "disastrous" match for Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool's draw allowed league leader Manchester City the chance to extend their lead to 3 points if they win against Newcastle on Sunday. Salah performed poorly during the match, just days after receiving the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Player in the Premier League. He received the lowest rating among Liverpool players, according to several sports websites, notably the player evaluation site "WhoScored."
Catastrophic Numbers
Salah recorded "catastrophic" statistics during the match, which spread widely on social media. Over 90 minutes, he failed to complete any accurate crosses or shots on goal, lost the ball 20 times, and did not manage to score or assist. He succeeded in only one successful dribble, won 5 duels out of 13 attempts, and achieved just 19 accurate passes.
