Darwin Nunez’s Highlights Against Manchester City Emerge, He Was Unplayable

City found an equaliser in the 70th minute courtesy of Julian Alvarez. 

The win was eventually sealed after Nunez’s clever diving header gave Liverpool an unassailable 3-1 lead in stoppage time. 

Despite a slow start to his Liverpool career during pre season, Nunez stepped up in the first ‘competitive’ game of the season. 

He caused havoc for the City back line with his superb movement and physical presence. He worked tirelessly in order to make space for himself and his team mates. 

After the match, Alexander Arnold was asked about Nunez's performance, the defender heaped praise on the striker.

He said: "He won the penalty, scored the goal, had a one-on-one. He looks lively, very lively, he’s someone who’s been brought into score goals and he’s proved he can do that today.

"He's a top player, young player, you can tell he’s come in to learn, he’s bonded with the lads, everyone’s got on well with him.

"He’s come in, worked hard, got his head down so far and knows his position is not just going to be there because we bought him this summer, he’s got to earn it and he’s come on with a point to prove and scored the goal to clinch it and won the penalty also."

Huge shoes to fill for sure, but one thing is also certain, Nunez will be a star for Liverpool in years to come. 

Nunez now has a chance to make his home debut as Liverpool take on Strasbourg at Anfield on Sunday evening. They will then get their Premier League season underway at Craven Cottage against Fulham on August 6.
