Dawrin Nunez has made a vow to Liverpool fans after his horror miss cost his side victory over Aston Villa. Just two minutes after replacing Diogo Jota, the Uruguayan was presented with a seemingly simple chance after being teed up by Dominik Szoboszlai.
But with an open goal at his mercy, the forward contrived to blast over from seven yards out.
manager cut a frustrated figure after the miss, and didn’t hide his post-match disappointment either as his side drew 2-2 to drop crucial points in the title race.
The 25-year-old further risked the wrath of club fans after being seen smiling on the field at the final whistle. But he’s now taken to X to address the club faithful, promising to bounce back from his mishap.
“I wasn’t the best three weeks ago and I’m not the worst now,” he wrote on X. “If I fall, I get up. You will never see me give up. I’m going to give everything until the last day that I’m here at . Resilience!”
The post also included an image of the forward celebrating one of his goals at Brentford last month. But his late brace against the Bees on January 18, which sealed a 2-0 win for the Reds, signified the last time he found the net.
Ni fui el mejor hace tres semanas ni soy el peor ahora. Si me caigo, me levanto. Nunca me van a ver bajar los brazos. Voy a dejar todo hasta el último día que me toque estar acá en Liverpool. Resiliencia! ????????????

He now has just six goals in 35 club appearances this summer, and was linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League in the recent transfer window. And the reference to his “last day” in his post will further fuel speculation over his future.
