LEEDS star Stuart Dallas has sent social media into meltdown after being guilty of one of the misses of the season against Tottenham.
The versatile Whites ace somehow failed to get on the score sheet at Elland Road as his side were smashed 4-0 by Tottenham.

There was nothing to cheer about for the Yorkshire outfit, who have now conceded at least three Premier League goals for the fifth match in a row.
But they should have been celebrating in the 76th minute after Dallas found himself clean through having rounded Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
The 30-year-old raced onto a through ball over Tottenham‘s defence with Lloris racing to the ball almost 40 yards out from goal.
His pass was blocked by Dallas, who then skipped past the French World Cup winner after he failed to swipe him out.
Dallas then darted towards goal with 25 yards of grass in front of him with the ex-Brentford man just needing to roll the ball home.
But he bizarrely dithered on the ball as he refused to shoot, instead waiting for Ryan Sessegnon to race to the line and Ben Davies to come across.

After finally deciding to have a shot six yards out, Davies easily blocked his effort – much to the frustration of fans and team-mate Raphinha alongside him.
Six minutes later Son Heung-min grabbed Spurs’ fourth of the game to heap further woe on Leeds and boss Marcelo Bielsa.
And it was Dallas’ shocking miss that had supporters left raging as they stated his opportunity sums up their season.
One user tweeted: “That’s why we’re going down.”
Another said: “This is youth league. How does the ball not get into the net? Clear sign we are going down. Amateur hour…”
A third added: “He should get a fine for this.”
Meanwhile one remarked: “This was the worst decision making from any player ever, history books material.”
This fan then commented: “That just about sums us up, no keeper, spare man, and we still can’t score.”
One then stated: “That’s unforgivable Raphinha with an open goal or else hit it first time into an empty goal why he gave them time is beyond me.”
The result leaves Leeds 15th in the table and in real danger of going down after losing their fourth consecutive match.
They sit just three points above the relegation zone, though 18th-placed Burnley have three games in hand over them.
