FANS have been left stunned by Patrick Wood’s miss of the season contender.
Sydney were 3-0 up and cruising against the Central Coast Mariners when the Australian striker was given the perfect chance to score.

Goalkeeper Danny Vukovic took a poor first touch and was immediately closed down by Wood.
He was able to poke the ball beyond the No1 to leave him with an open goal just three yards out.
But Wood somehow scuffed his shot wide of the post from point-blank range.
The 21-year looked embarrassed as he stood still with his head in his hands.
And his horror blunder was only made worse by the commentators, who rubbed salt into the wounds as they screamed: “Oh what a miss.
“Anything can and does happen because that – you will never see happen again.
“That is the most astonishing miss.
“Poor old Pat Wood, he must be wishing the ground would swallow him up.

“As they say on social media, ‘peak A-League‘.”
Fans could also not believe the chance he squandered, with one saying: “Easily the worst miss I’ve ever seen on a football field.”
Another added: “I don’t often say I could do a better job than a professional player – but this time I could.”
A third commented: “This could be the most embarrassing miss ever.”
Wood’s day did not get much better as he was subbed off after 61 minutes for Robert Mak.
However, Sydney did seal all three points with a 3-1 win.
