After the full-time whistle, Nunez walked to the Liverpool dressing room alone as the striker was clearly disappointed about the role he played in the Reds not getting all three points.

A trip to the Etihad Stadium might have become easier for Liverpool due to doubts over the fitness of Man City duo Erling Haaland and John Stones, however, Pep Guardiola’s side are expected to provide the Reds with another tough test on their quest for the Premier League title.
