‘Karma exists’ – Ex-Ghana keeper Fatau Dauda trolls Mo Salah and Egypt team-mates for complaining about laser pens
EX-GHANA goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has told Mohamed Salah and his Egyptian team-mates “karma exists” for complaining about laser pens.
Liverpool star Salah has endured a tough year so far for his international team.
Egypt lost February’s Africa Cup of Nations final to Senegal on penalties.
And on Tuesday, they followed it up with another penalty shootout loss to Senegal to miss out on a spot at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
But the game was marred by controversy with Egypt’s penalty takers having strong lasers shone in their faces.
Senegal won the shootout 3-1 with Salah missing the target.

And 26-cap former Ghana international Dauda told Egypt “karma exists” after he had lasers shone on his face by Egyptian fans during a 2014 World Cup qualifier in November 2013.
He said on Twitter, alongside a picture of lasers shining in his face: “Wossop Egypt, heard you are complaining about laser…..? Karma exists.”
