Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has said Manchester United full-back, Diogo Dalot’s miss against West Ham United on Sunday, will be spoken about in 20 years’ time.
Manchester United were beaten 2-1 by West Ham in the Premier League at London Stadium.
In the 32nd minute, United saw an opportunity to take the lead against the home side after Bruno Fernandes delivered a cheeky ball over the top to Dalot, who was onside.
The Portuguese defender flicked the ball over goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański but then blazed it over the bar with the net gaping.
This left the fans, the players, and even manager Erik ten Hag in disbelief.
Shearer called the Portuguese defender’s miss one of the “worst in the Premier League era”.
“Dalot’s miss is one of the worst misses in the Premier League era. We’ll be talking about this in 20 years’ time,” Shearer said on Premier League Productions.
Jarrod Bowen won the game for the Hammers in stoppage time, with the game heading to a 1-1 draw following goals from Crysencio Summerville (74′) and Casemiro’s 81st minute strike.
Manchester United will now be hoping they return to winning ways when the red take on a resurgent Chelsea side in the league on Sunday.
