Liverpool star Mo Salah leaves fans stunned after incredible miss from just seven yards against Brighton
Salah looks set to win another Premier League Golden Boot this season, having started Monday's game with 28 goals — five more than his closest rival, Newcastle striker 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 were leading at the time of Salah's miss thanks to earlier strikes from Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai. Those goals came either side of a first-half equaliser by Yasin Ayari.
To rub salt into Salah's wounds, Brighton hit back again to make it 2-2 on 69 minutes when Kaoru Mitoma netted his third goal in four games.
