Darwin Nunez was left looking somewhat embarrassed after missing a sitter during Liverpool’s clash with Luton Town on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
The incident took place in the 69th minute of the game when Trent Alexander-Arnold crossed the ball into Mohammed Salah at the back post.<\/p>\n
Salah played it back to Nunez, who was standing on the opposite post. All he had to do was guide the ball into net as\u00a0Thomas Kaminski had already been beaten.<\/p>\n
However, Nunez fired over the bar and into row Z. His team-mates couldn’t believe what they had witnessed, putting their heads in their hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully for Nunez, the offside flag went up immediately after the incident as Salah was deemed offside. But, that didn’t stop fans from criticising the 24-year-old’s error.<\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher, who was part of Sky’s commentary team, said: ‘He might be a little relieved the flag went up. I still don’t think people will forget it. I think Salah might have actually been onside.’<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, fans took to X to share their opinion. One social media user said: ‘I swear Nunez has an open goal miss every single game.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘I have never considered Nunez to be a good striker. He lacks precision, too anxious to shoot the ball, clumsy and uncoordinated in front of goal.’<\/p>\n
While one fan wrote: ‘I absolutely adore Darwin Nunez but that miss was unforgivable he needs to learn how to not whack everything, that was a simple tap in. Has to have lot more finesse in front of goal’.<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘Darwin will score complex goals and miss easy ones. I don\u2019t understand my striker’.\u00a0 While one said: ‘Oh for God sake we need to sell Darwin. What was that miss honestly?’<\/p>\n
The missed opportunity proved costly for Liverpool as\u00a0Tahith Chong found the back of the net for Luton Town just moments later to see the Reds go 1-0 down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully for the Reds, Luis Diaz found the back of the net in the 90+5minute of the game to see Liverpool secure a point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
