Darwin Nunez faced criticism after he ignored Liverpool’s traveling supporters following their 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Wednesday night. Despite the Reds moving eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, Nunez’s frustration was evident as he walked off the pitch alone, particularly after missing a key opportunity to secure a win.

In a video captured at full-time, while his teammates applauded the fans, Nunez was seen trudging off without acknowledging the supporters. Comments on social media reflected the disappointment, with one user saying, “I can accept missing open goals, but Nunez was strolling most of the time he was on.

Shocking attitude.” Another added, “He’s done. I don’t like that attitude post-match at all.”

Nunez’s frustration stemmed from a missed chance in the second half, where he received a perfect pass from Dominik Szoboszlai but hit the ball significantly over an open goal. This miss was particularly costly, as Liverpool was already struggling to capitalize on their chances throughout the match.

The game saw Liverpool initially take the lead with a goal from Mohamed Salah, only for Aston Villa to equalize through Youri Tielemans. Villa then took a 2-1 lead with a header from Ollie Watkins just before halftime. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s equalizer in the second half salvaged a point, but the performance left much to be desired.

Fans expressed their frustration on social media, with some declaring Nunez’s miss as the “final straw” and questioning his finishing ability: “Premier League athlete, League 2 finisher.”

Nunez, who joined Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for a fee rising to £85 million, has had a challenging season, starting only seven out of 21 Premier League games and scoring four goals. His recent performances have raised concerns about his future contributions to the team.
