Fans think Darwin Nunez 'scored the most Nunez goal ever' in Liverpool's friendly win over Karlsruher on Wednesday.
Liverpool beat Karlsruher 4-2 in a pre-season friendly as Diogo Jota bagged a late brace to secure victory in Germany.
Cody Gakpo also got on the score-sheet, not to mention Liverpool's new No.9. The Uruguayan opened the scoring in the third minute as fans joked he 'scored the most Nunez goal ever'.
Mohamed Salah played in Nunez, who ran through on goal but surprisingly refrained from shooting.

Instead, he returned the ball to the Egyptian forward, who hit a pass back to Nunez.
From there, he poked the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-0.
Despite bagging a goal, fans mocked Nunez for not shooting first time while Liverpool supporters jumped to the player's defence.
One Twitter user wrote: "Darwin Nunez scoring the most Darwin Nunez goal ever."
A second tweeted: "You cannot convince me Darwin Nunez is a good footballer, what is bro doing."
A third argued: "Everyone said the same about Vinicius first two seasons at Madrid as well. Give him time."
A Liverpool fan defended Nunez, commenting: "I believe he scored a goal. Could be wrong but..."
A fifth backed the forward: "Did he end up scoring? He did? Then it doesn’t freaking matter."
Nunez, who joined Liverpool in a transfer worth up to £85 million, scored 15 goals in all competitions last season.
After a period of settling in at the club, Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool fans alike will be hoping for a more prolific campaign from their star forward next season.
How will he fare in the 2023/24 term? Let us know what you think.
