- Egyptian scored in the first-half
- Then failed from the spot
- Dramatic game ended all square
WHAT HAPPENED? The Reds were handed a glorious opportunity to pull level against the Gunners during the second-half of a thrilling Premier League contest at Anfield. Salah had already offered them a route back into the game following early efforts from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, before Liverpool were awarded a penalty when Rob Holding fouled Diogo Jota in the box.
However, the Egyptian superstar was – having also missed his last spot-kick against Bournemouth – to fluff his lines again, as he rolled past the post from 12 yards. Klopp thought his star frontman was guaranteed to hit the net, but his mood was to alter dramatically in the space of a few seconds.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Salah’s miss did not end up costing Liverpool too dearly, as Roberto Firmino snatched a late leveller from the Reds – who could have gone on to claim all three points as Salah and Ibrahima Konate were denied by a couple of stunning stops from Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
