Fans slam 'RIDICULOUS' decision to award Darwin Nunez man of the match after the Liverpool striker missed a hatful of chances against Aston Villa... but Jurgen Klopp insists the Uruguayan had an 'incredible' game and it was 'unfair' that he didn't score

Liverpool's Darwin Nunez continues to split opinion after his all-action performance against Aston Villa saw him miss a hatful of chances but still pick up the man of the match award.

The Reds secured a 3-1 win at Villa Park, with Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Stefan Bajcetic all getting on the scoresheet.

Nunez had multiple chances to also find the net, but his finishing touch consistently let him down. He was still named man of the match as his dangerous runs in behind stretched the Villa defence, but some fans did not agree that he deserved the accolade.
