Salah missed a penalty in the 64th minute, before leaving the pitch and being replaced by Federico Chiesa in the 77th minute.

Commenting on the Egyptian star’s performance against City, Joe Hart said during the post-match analysis: “We’re used to seeing Mohamed Salah as a confident player, but he struggled today and looked lacking in confidence.”

He added: “We saw him come out for the second half looking completely downcast!”

It is worth noting that Hart has praised Salah’s form on previous occasions this season, but in his comments today he focused on the Egyptian star’s dip in form.
