Manchester United winger Antony produced a contender for miss of the season in his side's Premier League clash with Southampton at Old Trafford. With the Red Devils 1-0 down following a first-half own goal from Manuel Ugarte, United broke forward and Alejandro Garnacho struck the ball across goal.

Antony arrived at the back post with the goal at his mercy, but the ball hit his shin and bobbled into the hands of Aaron Ramsdale. The £82m forward lay on the floor in the six-yard box looking up at the sky after wasting a golden opportunity to equalise for his team.
Meanwhile, TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher was left in disbelief at what he had just seen. 'I cannot believe he's missed it,' Fletcher exclaimed as Ramsdale gratefully clutched the ball to his chest. Antony slid in but failed to score from just two yards out against Southampton.
