Darwin Nunez faced a barrage of criticism in the wake of his glaring miss during Liverpool's draw with Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Nunez looked nailed on to score the Reds' third goal of the game — one which could well have proved to be the winner — when Dominik Szoboszlai squared the ball across the penalty area to gift the Uruguayan an apparent tap-in.

However, Nunez somehow managed to sky the ball over the crossbar, leaving head coach Arne Slot with his head in his hands on the touchline.

“These Darwin Nunez misses don’t even make me angry anymore," one wrote, while another said: “I just cannot put up with Nunez any longer, regardless of whether he's a cult hero or not.”

One rather cruel user wrote: “I am done with Darwin Nunez.

Nunez has got to get that on target."

Liverpool boss Slot did not directly mention Nunez's miss in his post-match interview with TNT Sports but clearly made reference to it, saying: “If you look at the chances we had in the second half to go in front, you can understand that there is one player in the dressing who feels quite down.

It was a great game but I am not happy with the result.

“I felt we defended well but I can’t come up with a lot of Villa chances
