From bad to Wirtz! Liverpool star left red-faced after opponent pulls off audacious nutmeg

Liverpool's Florian Wirtz was left with egg on his face after being nutmegged by an Aston Villa star.

Wirtz came on as a substitute in the 77th minute of Liverpool's 2-0 win over Villa at Anfield on Saturday night having been benched again by Arne Slot.

The £116million signing gave a decent impression after coming on, with some impressive moments mixed in, but the overriding memory will be of this moment.

Liverpool had fluffed their lines with a three-on-three counter-attack in the dying minutes of the game, with Boubacar Kamara dispossessing Mohamed Salah.
