During Liverpool’s tense clash with Manchester United, a moment of disbelief swept across Anfield — and no one felt it more than Alexander Isak. The striker, along with several of his Liverpool teammates, was visibly stunned after Mohamed Salah missed what looked like a certain goal.
In the 65th minute, Salah found himself perfectly positioned inside the box after a brilliant team move. With the goalkeeper beaten and the crowd already preparing to celebrate, the Egyptian star somehow sent his shot narrowly wide.
Isak was seen falling to his knees in shock, hands on his head, unable to process what had just happened. Those close to the moment said it summed up the frustration of Liverpool’s day — a match filled with chances but lacking the clinical edge needed to secure victory.
For Salah, who’s known for his precision and composure, the miss was uncharacteristic. But for Liverpool, it was a reminder of how costly small lapses can be in high-stakes matches — especially against rivals like Manchester United.
As the game wore on, that missed opportunity became one of the defining moments of the night — a scene that left both players and fans asking how it possibly didn’t end in a goal.
