Darwin Nunez repaid Jurgen Klopp’s faith in putting him in the starting XI by scoring Liverpool’s third goal during a very lively first half at Anfield.
While the Uruguayan provided the finish, plenty of credit must also go to Ryan Gravenberch, who set off on a scintillating mazy run from the middle of the park right to the edge of the penalty area.
The 21-year-old laid it off to Curtis Jones, whose shot was blocked but the ball fell kindly for the Reds’ number 9, who lashed it home with conviction to make it 3-1 to the home side just after the half-hour mark.
It was a finish which shows that Nunez absolutely means business this season, and what about that brilliant build-up slalom from the flying Dutchman!
