Omar Marmoush’s difficult spell in front of goal continued as the Egyptian international failed to score in Tottenham’s EFL Cup match against Liverpool, with Spurs crashing out of the competition after a 3-1 defeat.

Marmoush started the game at Anfield and played the full match, but he was unable to end his goal drought. The Egyptian forward has now gone 15 consecutive matches without scoring across club and international football.

Anfield Exit

Tottenham entered the match hoping to secure a place in the next round, but Liverpool took control and opened the scoring in the 21st minute through Alexis Mac Allister, who found the net with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area.

Liverpool kept their one-goal lead until halftime before Cody Gakpo doubled the advantage in the 54th minute, leaving Tottenham with a difficult task.

Spurs tried to fight their way back into the game, and Conor Gallagher gave them hope by scoring in the 69th minute to reduce the gap.

However, Liverpool ended Tottenham’s hopes in stoppage time when Dominik Szoboszlai scored the third goal in the first added minute, sealing a 3-1 win and a place in the next round.

The result brought Tottenham’s EFL Cup campaign to an end in the third round, while Marmoush completed another full match without adding to his goal tally.

Drought Continues

Marmoush’s failure to score against Liverpool extended a much longer run, with the Egyptian now reaching 125 days without a goal at any level.

The drought has covered 15 matches involving his former club Manchester City, current side Tottenham and the Egypt national team.

Marmoush moved from Manchester City to Tottenham only weeks ago as he began a new chapter in his Premier League career, but he is still searching for his first goal of this period and a way to end his long wait.

His scoring drought has also come during a difficult run of results for Tottenham. Spurs have lost Premier League matches against Newcastle and Brentford, while drawing with Everton and Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham will hope to improve their results in the coming games, while Marmoush will be looking to rediscover his scoring touch and finally bring his 125-day wait to an end.

Their next test will come against Aston Villa in the fifth round of Premier League fixtures, giving Marmoush another opportunity to find the net and start a new chapter with Tottenham.
