Liverpool manager Arne Slot has spoken about Mohamed Salah's ongoing three-game goal drought. The Egyptian star was fabulous throughout the season, but has now failed to score in three consecutive games for the first time this term.
Discussing the uncharacteristic poor run of form from Salah, Slot told the media (via GOAL):
"Sometimes the fixture list is more difficult than at other periods. PSG are one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. Newcastle were all over us in the Carabao final and Everton were so difficult with 10 people in their own 18-yard box all the time."

Slot concluded:
"I know Mo, he lives for goals. It would be weird if he was happy not scoring but probably his biggest quality is he can play a poor game and still score so his head is not all over the place. That is why he scores so many, because he wants it so much. Yes, there were probably periods this season he smiled a bit more but that's not just him, it's all the players."
Mohamed Salah has been lethal in what could be his final season with the Reds, as his contract is set to expire in the summer. He has scored 32 times and provided 22 assists in 44 games across competitions.
Mohamed Salah's Liverpool legacy
During his fantastic eight-year stint with the club, Mohamed Salah established himself as one of the best players in Liverpool's history. The Egyptian star has scored the third most goals in the Merseyside outfit's history, only behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
Salah joined the Reds in the summer of 2017 from AS Roma for a reported €42 million. He has since scored 243 goals and provided 110 assists in 393 games to help the side to their first English Premier League title in three decades, one UEFA Champions League, one FA Cup, and two League Cups.
On an individual basis, Mohamed Salah has won three EPL top scorer awards, two player of the year awards, and two African player of the year awards since joining Liverpool.
Salah is on course to help the Reds to their second Premier League title. They are leading the table by 11 points with eight games left to play in the season. Slot's side also have a game in hand over second-placed Arsenal, who could only muster a 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday, April 5.
