In the English Premier League, Liverpool defeated Brentford 3-0, with Darwin Núñez contributing an assist throughout the game. For Jürgen Klopp’s team, the Uruguayan got the start and performed admirably in attack. His greatest contribution was setting up Egypt’s Mohamed Salah, who is a fantastic teammate, for the 1-0 lead that the Reds had.
Two goals had been disallowed for offside earlier in the game. When the score was still 0-0, the Uruguayan’s fine shot against the post was wiped out by one of them, which was millimetric. A few minutes afterward, Darwin Núñez’s finish was even more spectacular. After multiple rebounds, he attempted a bicycle kick in the box, but this time, the offside was considerably more obvious.
With the victory, Liverpool’s Premier League point total now stands at 27, one point clear of Tottenham and level with Arsenal and Manchester City, despite the fact that Pep Guardiola’s team still has a match to play on Matchday 12.
Darwin creates anxiety
This season, Mo Salah and Darwin Núñez have generated the most opportunities between them (19). Most times (5), they helped each other. In addition, since joining Liverpool, the Uruguayan has tallied ten assists, eight of which have gone to Salah this season.
