Mohamed Salah misses his first Premier League penalty for Liverpool in over FOUR YEARS... and iconic strikers Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry are left stunned as the Premier League top scorer hits the bar from the rebound in defeat to Foxes

Deadly Mohamed Salah suffered penalty despair as Leicester held Liverpool in the first half of their Premier League clash on Tuesday – with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel the hero as the Reds' long run of perfect penalties abruptly ended.

Inspired Schmeichel stopped Salah's spot kick after 15 minutes at the King Power Stadium, watched with relief as the runaway top scorer in the top flight headed the rebound against the crossbar and then produced another astonishing save to thwart the striker again just after the half-hour mark.

Former hotshot Alan Shearer felt Salah's pain as he watched the prolific hitman fail from 12 yards in the Premier League for the first time since 28 October 2017, when he misfired during a 3-0 home win over Huddersfield.
