Sadio Mane missed a gilt-edged chance for Liverpool against Leeds, somehow blazing over the bar.
Mohamed Salah put the visitors in the lead, tapping home from close range to open the scoring at Elland Road.
And his strike partner had a perfect opportunity to double their side's lead.
But Mane fluffed his lines from point blank range, smashing the ball over the bar.
Diogo Jota worked an opening, picking out the Senegalese forward who was unable to complete the move with a goal.
The ball was slightly behind the Liverpool star, but a chance he should really be burying.
"Oh he's missed it!" :astonished:
