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.

Arne Slot said he was disappointed but not as disappointed as Darwin Nunez after the Liverpool forward missed an open goal against Aston Villa. Mohamed Salah continued his sensational form with Liverpool’s opener on 29 minutes but the visitors still found themselves 2-1 behind at the break as Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins both scored for Villa.

Arne Slot says he found Darwin Nunez’s behaviour ‘difficult’ to accept during Liverpool’s draw with Aston Villa. The Reds boss was critical of the forward's reaction to missing a big chance at Villa Park.
