The striker fired a shot over the bar from close range in Wednesday's match, failing to give his side the lead with the game poised at 2-2.

Struggling Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez had another night to forget on Wednesday after a nightmare miss against Aston Villa, with the misfiring forward labelled ‘so odd’ for his performances. Liverpool took the lead at Villa Park through Mohamed Salah only for Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins to put the home side in front.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said he doesn't mind Darwin Núñez missing chances like at Aston Villa, but has criticised the striker for his "behaviour" on the pitch after the opportunity.
