Liverpool came from behind to earn a point against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

The Reds took the lead in the contest just before the 30-minute mark as Mohamed Salah would break another Liverpool record with the opening goal on the night.

Arne Slot’s men would find themselves behind going into the halftime break, but Trent Alexander-Arnold would earn a point for Liverpool with a short, but impactful second-half display.

Liverpool had enough chances to come away from Villa Park with all three points and it could be something they rue towards the end of the campaign.

Diogo Jota had several, but one opportunity for Darwin Nunez stands out, and it was clear after the full-time whistle how disappointed the Uruguayan star was.

Darwin Nunez walks to Liverpool dressing room alone

With 68 minutes on the clock, Nunez received a pass from Dominik Szoboszlai in the Aston Villa box and with an open goal staring the striker in the face, the Uruguayan would strike off target.

Slot couldn’t believe what he witnessed Nunez do and had the 25-year-old scored, it would have certainly earned Liverpool all three points.

The striker has had it tough at Liverpool this season and it was clear after the full-time whistle how disappointed he was with the opportunity he missed.

One Liverpool fan spotted Nunez heading to the Merseyside club’s dressing room alone as the rest of the Reds’ squad applauded the away fans who travelled to Birmingham.

Nunez was criticised for the effort he showed coming off of the bench against Wolves on Sunday and that was evident again at Villa as it now looks like the striker’s time at Liverpool is coming to a sad end.

Time is up for Darwin Nunez’s Liverpool career

Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr showed strong interest in Nunez during January as Liverpool rejected two offers for the striker due to not being able to replace him in a short space of time.

The final offer was said to be £62.5m and should the Reds bring that in for the Uruguay international this summer, that would be an incredible piece of business from the Merseyside club.

That money could be reinvested to bring someone like Alexander Isak to Liverpool as the Reds are one of many clubs believed to have an interest in the Newcastle star.

Nunez developed into a cult hero at Anfield due to the passion he showed when playing in a red shirt. However, that seems to be dying and with it, the striker’s Liverpool career has begun to fizzle out.
