You know he scored 3 and we and him were cheated out of 2. It just highlights that he could score 20 and you would say he was lucky they all bounced in by accident.
He’s scored 1. That’s an undeniable fact. Why do people keep making out he was cheated out of 2 when he clearly wasn’t?

Dubravka was going to dive to his left but saw Frimpong charging at him and was worried about tripping him and conceding a penalty, so he changed course to his right which resulted in Salah's penalty nestling into an unguarded net.
