“Revealed: Why Salah Lost His Cool with Two Liverpool Teammates in Extra-Time vs Fulham”
“Why Salah Was Furious with Two Liverpool Teammates in Extra-Time Against Fulham”
Liverpool showed a clear determination to snatch a late winner against Fulham on Saturday, but their approach may have cost them two crucial points in the title race.
Despite staying top of the Premier League and holding a five-point lead over second-placed Chelsea, shared footage from the closing moments highlights a missed opportunity that left Mohamed Salah visibly frustrated.
Salah Fumes at Diaz and Jota
In extra time, Mo Salah’s frustration boiled over as both Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota failed to spot him unmarked in the box. Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @CF_Compss, via Premier League Productions, shows the Egyptian shouting for the ball just yards from goal.
Diaz initially overlooked Salah’s clear opening, while Jota had a second chance to assist but sent his shot over the bar instead. Given the space Salah found himself in, it’s easy to understand his anger when reflecting on the clip.
Salah Reaches 100-Assists Milestone
Despite his frustration, Salah did enjoy a significant personal achievement by assisting Cody Gakpo’s equaliser. That moment marked his 100th assist for Liverpool, cementing his status among Europe’s elite playmakers.
HOW do you not pass the ball to Salah in this situation
He has every right to be unhappy like he is

Since his debut in 2017, only Kevin De Bruyne (132), Thomas Müller (118), and Lionel Messi (108) have managed more assists across Europe’s top five leagues—yet more proof of Salah’s enduring brilliance.
Title Race Still in Liverpool’s Hands
With Arsenal dropping points against Everton, Liverpool could stretch their lead to nine points if they win their game in hand. While Salah’s frustration is understandable, the bigger picture still offers plenty of hope for the Reds’ title ambitions.
