      Super 6 punter misses out on £1m by ONE GOAL in Liverpool clash as fans joke ‘imagine his reaction when Nunez came on’

      by

      IT was agony for a punter who missed out on an incredible £1million on the free to play Super 6 game by just ONE GOAL.The fan correctly predicted the results of five Premier League games selected by Sky Sports this weekend and came painfully close to pocketing the life-changing sum of money. Darwin Nunez came on for the last 20 minutes and missed a chance to scoreCredit: ReutersHe correctly guessed the scorelines of Manchester City’s win over Ipswich, Tottenham’s thumping of Everton and West Ham’s victory away at Crystal Palace from the Saturday 3pm games.And he then got the score of Arsenal’s 2-0 win at Aston Villa bang on to take him into Super Sunday.Bournemouth thought they had beaten Newcastle 2-1 with a stoppage time winner, only for VAR to controversially disallow it to the supporter’s delight.It all came down to the final match, with the punter needing Liverpool to beat Brentford 3-0.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe Reds raced into the lead via Luis Diaz before Mo Salah made it two after 70 minutes.Fans up and down the country were hoping Liverpool could make his dream come true – but Brentford held on to stop the winnings from being deposited into his account.Darwin Nunez replaced Diogo Jota two minutes after it became 2-0 and fans have joked the unlucky fan must have been raging seeing him come on amid his nine-match Premier League goal drought.One social media user said: “Imagine being that geezer needing 3-0 Liverpool for his Super 6 and £1million and seeing Nunez come on.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSAnother joked: “Someone only needs one more Liverpool goal to win the million from Super 6, this pending Darwin Nunez two big chances missed might send his head to the moon.”A third laughed: “This poor person one goal away from willing a million on Super Six having to watch Nunez try and score.”Arne Slot casually swears in middle of Liverpool press conference as fans say ‘I love him already’ His unlucky Super 6 predicitonsMan City 4-1 Ipswich Spurs 4-0 EvertonCrystal Palace 0-2 West HamAston Villa 0-2 ArsenalBournemouth 1-1 NewcastleLiverpool 3-0 Brentford More reacted: “Watching Darwin Nunez come on for Salah with 20 mins to go and knowing that dream is over is pretty brutal.”Nunez ended up firing a header wide and taking another chance off Cody Gakpo, who could have been in a better position.

      ‘I ain’t f***ing doing it’ – Edgar Davids stormed out of live TV show after rant that saw Sky Sports forced to apologise

Davids then spent much of the latter part of his career in England with Tottenham, Crystal Palace and finally in the Conference with Barnet.But during his stint in London, he spent a day as a guest at Sky Sports – although things did not quite go to plan as he swore on air and then refused to stick it out until the end.His appearance on Goals On Sunday prompted Davids to tell a story about his time in non-league.READ MORE ON SPORTFormer Sky presenter Scott Minto revealed: “He wasn’t really getting involved, to the point where people were sort of shouting at him to get into the game. “He turns to them and says, ‘I’m Edgar f****** Davids!’ But he said that on air, on Sky. “So, obviously, there was a massive apology and everything carried on as normal.”And things went from bad to worse when Davids stayed on to help cover the action from Spain – and flew into an X-rated meltdown.
