The disgust on Mo Salah’s face as he shot straight down the tunnel at the end was worth a thousand words.
Salah had enough opportunities to win not just this pulsating contest, but most of Liverpool ’s games until the end of the season. His side spurned eight big chances, after 21 attempts on goal, with an expected goals tally of four. The pain was etched on his features for a reason.
He knows his penalty miss - a second in a month after failing to convert just two in his previous five years at Anfield - was so costly, not just in terms of victory, but also the Reds fast disappearing Champions League hopes. Make that disappeared.
