Liverpool manager Arne Sloter suggested Darwin Nunez may be the most frustrated player in the dressing room following their 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Wednesday.
In the 29th minute of the game, Mohamed Salah scored the first goal for Liverpool, but Youri Tielemans equalized the score in just 9 minutes. Before the end of the first half, Ollie Watkins scored to help Villa overtake 2-1. In the 61st minute of the second half, Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a powerful shot to help Liverpool finally draw 2-2 with their opponents.
Sloter sent Nunez on in the second half, hoping that the Uruguayan striker could help the team complete the winning goal. At the end of the game, Soboslai made a precise cross pass, and Nunez faced an empty goal and only needed to push the ball easily to seal the victory. However, he kicked the ball away and missed a great opportunity.
After the final whistle, Sloter talked about this crucial mistake in an interview: "I saw Bradley send an incredible pass, Soboslai's sprint was very threatening, and in my opinion, he made the most perfect choice-a cross pass, allowing Nunez to get an empty goal opportunity. However, Darwin's handling was not ideal. Although he is a right-footed player, the opportunity was still too big. I hoped he could get another chance."
"We are all disappointed but that's normal, for some players it's more disappointing. There was one player in the dressing room who was very upset and you all know who it was.
Liverpool will face Manchester City in a key Premier League match this Sunday, competing for the crucial three points in the championship race.
