Mo Salah missed an open goal sitter against Brighton that could cost him history.
With Liverpool leading Brighton 2-1 after Dominik Szoboszlai's fluke goal, that was a mishit cross, put the visitors back ahead at half-time after Yasin Ayari cancelled out Harvey Elliott's opening goal, Salah could have killed the game.
The Reds came breaking away at pace over the halfway line with Cody Gakpo tearing up the ground down the left. The Dutchman got in line with the edge of the penalty box and picked his head up to see Salah all alone in the middle.
Gakpo's inch-perfect pass put it on a plate for Salah six yards out with an open goal. However, the Egyptian completely shanked his effort and incredibly put the ball wide when it seemed easier to score.
Salah fell stunned into the net, looking over at the linesman, hoping the flag would spare his blushes, but the flag was never raised.
It's no secret the 32-year-old is chasing a slice of Premier League history, with him currently on 46 goals and assists for the campaign. The joint record currently stands with Andy Cole and Alan Shearer both on 47 in the 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons, respectively.
Salah seemed certain to be heading for that record, with him on 44 goal involvements on March 8. But a huge drop off has seen him score and assist just once in seven games - including five matches where Liverpool weren't champions - and leaving it late for himself to better the record.
Fans took to social media to share their disbelief at Salah's with, with one account saying: "That is the worst miss I’ve ever seen from Salah." A second added: "That Salah one against Brighton might just be the worst I've ever witnessed."
Another wrote: "how am I gonna tell my kids Mo Salah missed this sitter?" A fourth added: "That is an absolute sitter missed by Salah." While a fifth said: "Oh no, Salah! That miss was a shocker—can’t believe he didn’t score from there!"
