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.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot had a clear post-match message for Darwin Nunez after their 2-2 Premier League draw at Aston Villa on February 19. The Reds extended their EPL title lead to eight points with a draw against Unai Emery's hosts but Arsenal can close that to five if the Gunners win their game in hand.

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.
