Liverpool Star Gives One Word Response To Darwin Nunez's Stunning Display Against RB Leipzig

Liverpool's Luis Diaz had one word to describe Darwin Nunez after he fired in four goals against the German side RB Leipzig last night.
‘Animal,’ wrote Diaz in the comments of Nunez’s celebratory instagram post, and it appears Liverpool do have an ‘animal’ among their ranks
Nunez would have been feeling the pressure after joining for such a significant transfer fee, but he’ll be feeling at ease after such a stellar display in only his third appearance for the Reds.
Nunez will be sure to thank Mohamed Salah, who opted to give the Uruguayan international the penalty, allowing him to get off the mark for Klopp's side.
The new signing's previous two appearances hadn’t quite gone how he would’ve liked, having missed two gilt-edged chances against both Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
But with four goals under his belt, Nunez is expected to keep improving in a Liverpool shirt and if his last performance is anything to go by, the sky’s the limit for the Uruguayan international.
Luis Diaz himself is also expected to do big things next season.
Speaking to the Athletic, Diaz's Liverpool teammate Fabinho told them he expects the Colombian to be ‘increasingly important’ for the Reds next season.
The recent departure of Sadio Mane means the forward will be able to make the left-wing position his own.
While Mane’s incredible Liverpool record will be hard to match, the 25-year-old most definitely has the talent to fill the gap left by the Senegalese player.
Diaz impressed in the 26 appearances he made for the Reds last season, and with him now more integrated into the squad, he’ll look to kick on next season.
With an outright number 9 in Nunez now in the squad, Diaz will be hoping to link up with both him and Salah to create a new devastating front three.
