Darwin Nunez took to social media to respond to criticism of his missed opportunity during Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Wednesday.

With the scores level at 2-2, Nunez had the chance to hand the Reds the lead in the second half but blazed the ball over the crossbar with an empty goal at his mercy.

The miss prompted criticism from some fans on social media, and Nunez responded with a post of his own, writing: "I wasn't the best three weeks ago, and I'm not the worst now.
