Premier League player’s embarrassing miss earns him ‘worst miss ever seen’ label but escapes punishment

Football fans were left in disbelief as Ajax star Steven Berghuis produced what some described as one of the “worst misses ever seen”, only to have his blushes spared by the offside flag. The Netherlands international found himself with an open goal from just five yards out, but ended up mis-controlling the ball, letting the chance go begging. While the offside flag went up to prevent the embarrassment from becoming a goal, fans took to social media to mock his blunder. This incident occurred during Ajax’s match against PEC Zwolle, where they ended up relinquishing their lead and settling for a draw. The result leaves Ajax fifth in the Eredivisie and has seen them drop down to the Europa Conference League after a disappointing run in the Europa League.
