David McGoldrick mocked on social media for 'miss of the year' during FA Cup quarter-final loss at Chelsea... as the striker's mistimed header from a few yards out would have levelled the tense tie at Stamford Bridge before the Blades were dumped out

David McGoldrick was slammed on social media after the Sheffield United striker put a header wide from just a few yards out in the Blades' FA Cup quarter-final loss at Chelsea.

The Blades crashed out of the cup via a 2-0 loss to Thomas Tuchel's Blues thanks to Oliver Norwood's first-half own goal and Hakim Ziyech's strike just seconds from the end.

But with the score at 1-0 to Chelsea midway through the second-half, McGoldrick inexplicably put a header wide when found unmarked in the area by John Lundstram's cross.
