Mac Allister found himself in an ideal spot when a clearance from Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner landed perfectly at the edge of the box. Determined to make a difference, he prepared for a volley, but his attempt was poorly executed.
The ball missed the target by such a margin that Szoboszlai, who was nearby, couldn’t prevent it from going out for a throw-in.
TNT commentator Darren Fletcher was blunt in his criticism, calling it a “worst shot of the season contender” during the live broadcast.
Despite the error, Mac Allister felt some consolation knowing that Arne Slot’s first game as Liverpool manager still ended in a win.
