Much of the discussion around the match centred on the contribution of Darwin Nunez, the young Uruguayan striker who gave Villas defence a torrid time but who lacked composure in front of goal. No-one had more than Nunezs six shots on goal but the 23-year-old couldnt beat Robin Olsen.
@JacquiMorganF1:If that volley had gone in everyone would be worshipping Nuñez.
@LarrieYNWA:People attacking Darwin Nunez when Oxlade-Chamberlain delivered one of the worst performances in Premier League football history.
@_huit_66:Finesse will come and Nunez will let his goals do the talking. Ill shut up till then. Im fully confident in him.
@Maxlimburg:All Im hearing is rival fans putting down a guy whos averaging 6 shots a game because really theyre scared hes gonna start finishing chances at the regular soon. Kid is 23, incredibly raw, filled to the brim with talent and in his first season in a real league.
@RedRidingKop:Darwin Nunez was superb today. No 2 ways about it. Yeah, yeah, he didnt score.but how instrumental was he to LFCs goals? Very, is the answer.. Constantly a menace, superb movement, he greatly contributed to his team winning.
@ScottDJBarton:Just stop with the Nunez negativity already.
@mastersdog:Nunez, Nunez, Nunez. Hes immense just need to polish up his finishing! Glad he plays for us.
@StefEPoh:Darwin Nunez generated a lot of opportunities today without scoring but will surely score goals!
@_KennyLFC_: Its gonna be scary when Nunez sorts his finishing out. The final piece of his jigsaw. Im strapped in and ready for the ride.
