Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-1 on the road at the Vitality Stadium thanks to a spectacular goal from Darwin Nunez, securing a spot in the League Cup quarterfinals. After the game, his boss, German coach Jürgen Klopp, praised the Uruguayan, who had entered the game after 60 minutes and scored in the 70th.”Excellent goal; he scored with style. It was just amazing. It is excellent if the wind does indeed aid in achieving the aim. It’s amazing to see where the ball is going. I have no knowledge of that; ask him. The Reds boss emphasised at a press conference, “I just enjoyed the goal.”
With this score, the Artigas striker raised his tally to seven goals in 14 games for England this season. He also added two goals, both in the most recent doubleheader, in the current South American qualifications for the 2026 World Cup with Uruguay.Liverpool defeated Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth 3-1 to go to the League Cup quarterfinals. With Darwin Nunez scoring for the third straight game, Liverpool can now concentrate on their true season objective: moving to the top of the division.
Darwin’s skill was necessary for Liverpool to guarantee their spot in the cup competition’s last eight after they lost a badly defended corner that equalised after Cody Gakpo gave the home team the lead. Jürgen Klopp, who was previously known for downplaying the significance of these cups, went out to win at the Vitality Stadium with a mixed starting and substitute eleven. The Reds took the lead in the thirty-first minute when Harvey Elliott volleyed home from the edge of the area, but Gakpo’s deflection was blocked with his body by Ionut Radu.
Nunez’s excellent work
The Dutchman got the rebound and just needed to push the ball home to give Liverpool the lead. As Liverpool held a commanding lead against one of the poorest teams in the Premiership—who only managed to win once this season against Burnley—they mishandled a corner, leaving Justin Kluivert unaccompanied at the far post, where the Dutchman tied the score at one all.Trent Alexander-Arnold searched deep for Darwin twenty minutes from the penalty spot. Darwin received the ball on the wing, moved inside and unleashed a shot past the keeper that proved to be the game’s winning goal.
The victory was cemented by the Uruguayan, who has scored in three straight games in less than a week, keeping the Reds alive in all competitions. Iraola and his Bournemouth team can now focus on the next Premiership game in an effort to avoid relegation.
