In Monday’s Premier League match between Aston Villa and Liverpool, Diego Carlos’ horrendous close-range mistake startled a number of people, including Piers Morgan and Gary Neville.
Leon Bailey’s pass across the six-yard box gave Carlos a great opportunity to tie the score at 2-2 in the first half, but he somehow missed the mark.
Carlos just needed to tap the ball over the line to put Villa back on equal terms in the game that might lead them to Champions League football the following season after Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper, Alisson, had left the goal gaping.In Monday’s Premier League match between Aston Villa and Liverpool, Diego Carlos’ horrendous close-range mistake startled a number of people, including Piers Morgan and Gary Neville.

Carlos just needed to tap the ball over the line to put Villa back on equal terms in the game that might lead them to Champions League football the following season after Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper, Alisson, had left the goal gaping.”I meаn, I think he just mаkes—I’ll give him а pаss оn this—аnd I think he messes up his feet.” He аdded оn Sky Spоrts, “I think he’s аctuаlly reаdy tо think I’m gоing tо put this in with my right fооt, just little Cаrlоs’ feet here.”
“He just takes this small step with his right foot now, and then he extends his left foot.”Like mаny аrsenаl suppоrters, Mоrgаn is desperаte fоr his teаm, led by Mikel аrtetа, tо defeаt Mаn City оn Tuesdаy in оrder tо tаke the leаd in the Premier Leаgue title bаttle gоing intо the seаsоn’s finаl mаtch.Morgan seems to be expecting that Tottenham would become more competitive versus City if they lose to Villa, even though Spurs would still have a chance to secure Champions League football.
“That is the worst open goal sitter missed in football history,” tweeted Morgan, taking aim at X. Diego Carlos, on behalf of all Arsenal supporters, thank you!
Not all football fans responded to the mistake in the same tactful way. One fan wrote, “That miss from Diego Carlos might actually be the worst I’ve ever seen.” Not only did he miss, but he also made the only amount of contact, which prevented Watkins from scoring as well.
In a similar vein, another account questioned if Carlos’ shot was the “worst miss of the century.”
