Mo Salah produced one of the most remarkable misses of his career during Liverpool's clash with Brighton on Monday night.
Salah looks set to win another Premier League Golden Boot this season, having started Monday with 28 goals — five more than his closest rival, Alexander Isak.
With his side leading 2-1 at the AMEX Stadium, the 32-year-old was presented with a huge change to move onto 29 league goals when Cody Gakpo found him with a low cross in the 54th minute.
Salah, poised just seven yards from goal and almost dead centre between the posts, looked certain to score.
However, to the shock of thousands of fans watching on, he dragged his shot wide.
'How did Mo Salah miss,' asked dozens of witnesses via social media.
Salah's miss also appeared to upset many Fantasy Football managers, who had been banking on him to earn them points.
One fumed: 'Mo Salah has just missed the target COMPLETELY from 7 yards out. I am so done bro. Salah is a key differential in a H2H match up too. Nah I'm fuming!'

Liverpool generally are relaxed, they are not playing with so much passion, Salah will be back in full force next season
