Darwin Nunez has had more disastrous moments than great ones during his time at Liverpool, but Wednesday's misses felt particularly painful in the context of the Reds' title push.

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.

Darwin Nunez was “quite down” in the dressing room following his miss for Liverpool against Aston Villa, according to manager Arne Slot.
