Unlucky Darwin Nunez found the net with a stunning overhead kick against Brentford \u2013 only to see the effort ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool frontman had already seen one goal disallowed for offside when the home side won a corner in the 27th minute. Virgil van Dijk met the set-piece in the air, forcing a fabulous save from Mark Flekken. After the ball popped up, Nunez showed tremendous athleticism to find the net with an overhead kick. However, with the lineman\u2019s flag raised, the goal didn\u2019t stand. <\/p>\n
Ahead of the Brentford game, Nunez had netted seven times for Liverpool this season, but it could have been many more had he shown more composure and enjoyed a little more luck in front of goal. Fans were left desperately disappointed that his acrobatic effort didn\u2019t count.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutrageous finish denied by offside. Unlucky,\u201d posted one on X (formerly Twitter). Another declared: \u201cDarwin my goat, that bicycle kick goal counts in my heart.\u201d A third added: \u201cOffside aside, what a bicycle kick from Darwin.\u201d<\/p>\n
A fourth commented: \u201cDarwin can\u2019t get a goal for his life, he\u2019s offside again.\u201d Another fan remarked: \u201cDarwin Nunez found out how to score but forgot the offside rule.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool didn\u2019t have to wait much longer for a goal as Mo Salah, with Nunez providing the assist. Alexander-Arnold picked out Nunez on the edge of the area and he laid off to Salah, who tucked a shot past Mark Flekken and inside the far post for a goal of brilliant simplicity.<\/p>\n
In midweek, Nunez was mocked for \u2018missing a handshake\u2019 following Liverpool\u2019s Europa League defeat to Toulouse, which saw a late equaliser to make it 3-3 ruled out by a controversial VAR decision. As a result, he wasn\u2019t in the mood for a full-time handshake with Frank Magri, who took umbrage at his rival\u2019s perceived lack of sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

However, some fans joked that the Uruguayan hadn't refused the handshake, but just missed it following his calamitous open goal miss against Luton the previous weekend.<\/p>\n
