In what was a game of two halves for the Reds, Arne Slot’s side had to rescue the three points after a sloppy first half display.

Liverpool were far from their best, luckily for them though Darwin Nunez would step up to the plate and kick his side into action.

Like many of the Reds eleven, the 25-year-old was not up to scratch in the first half, with Nunez nearly being sent off just before the half-time whistle.

One fan said via X (formerly Twitter): Darwin Nunez.

I can’t, he won’t let me.”

“Darwin Nunez just had the greatest 90 seconds in football history,” added another supporter.

Nunez impressed against PSG from the bench, so it was no surprise to see Slot hand him a start against Southampton.

Ibrahima Konate praised Nunez after his display against Paris Saint-Germain and the striker will be hoping he can continue to make an impact until the end of the season.
