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 striker Darwin Nunez has vowed to “never give up” in response to the criticism he has received following his miss in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. With just over 20 minutes to play at Villa Park and the score locked at 2-2, Nunez had a glorious chance to put Liverpool ahead.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said he doesn't mind Darwin Núñez missing chances like at Aston Villa, but has criticised the striker for his "behaviour" on the pitch after the opportunity.
