Darwin Nunez hailed Alexis Mac Allister after the Argentine's impact from the bench in Liverpool's comeback win over Southampton.

With Arne Slot deciding to rest key players, such as Mac Allister and Andy Robertson, Liverpool floundered against basement dwellers Southampton in the opening 45.

Just six minutes into the second half Nunez scored an equalizer.



The Reds swarmed the Saints and won another penalty late on for, yes, Salah to convert once again.

Following his 45-minute performance, Mac Allister took to Instagram to post five pictures from the game.

Nunez was replaced at 68 minutes and at fulltime Slot explained his decision to stick with the striker at half-time while equally praising Mac Allister.

“In the end I took him off because he was on yellow but I always hate the idea that if we need to score goals, to take off someone who can score a goal,” Slot said.

I took Kostas out for that reason, because he was on yellow.

“Second of all, of course I know Robbo (Andy Robertson) always creates something with his energy and with his mentality

And there is a reason why Macca (Alexis Mac Allister) is a World Cup winner
