Football fans could not get their heads around why Darwin Nunez was crowned man of the match for Liverpool's victory over Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
The Reds ran out 3-1 victors at Villa Park thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Stefan Bajcetic in what was a chaotic, end-to-end festive Premier League fixture. While Nunez was a tireless presence in the visitors' attack, he was guilty of squandering a number of gilt-edged opportunities in front of goal.
In fact, the 23-year-old missed four big chances, which just so happened to be the same number of passes he completed prior to being taken off in the 88th minute. Nonetheless, Nunez was named man of the match by Amazon Prime Video to leave bemused supporters airing their bewilderment on social media.
