As the game started, Liverpool looked like the better team throughout the first half. A lovely finish from Mohamed Salah gave the Reds a 1-0 lead going into half time.
At half time, Jurgen Klopp made a few changes. Darwin Nuñez found himself on the pitch again. He had something to prove.
In the 48th minute, Liverpool we’re awarded a penalty after Luis Diaz was brought down in the box. This was given to Nuñez, he stepped up and slotted it into the back of the net to get his first Liverpool goal and to show his haters that he is a good player.
2 minutes later, a Trent lay off found Nuñez again and he was in 1v1 with the keeper. A cool, calm and collected finish put Liverpool 3-0 up and found Nuñez with his second goal at Liverpool.
In the 68th minute, Harvey Elliott found Nuñez once again to make it a hat trick in 20 minutes and silencing all of his haters.
The fifth goal was absolutely brilliant. Everything about it was perfect. It starts with a great interception by Joe Gomez and a pass too Jones who then laid it straight back to Carvalho. Carvalho flicks the ball over his opponent and beats him for pace. He puts a through ball into Nuñez who slots it into the opposite corner, beating the keeper to find his 4th goal of the game.
It goes to show that you can’t judge a player from 1 or 2 games. Yes, it is still only Pre-Season but we were playing a full strength Champions League team.
Resiliencia 🤫
