Darwin Nunez has carried his strong club form onto the international stage and after dispatching an injury time penalty in his first match during the break, our No.9 found the back of the net again in his second.
Playing against Alisson Becker’s Brazil, Liverpool fans will for once be happy to see that our No.1 wasn’t starting the game as it gave the former Benfica forward the opportunity to find the back of the net past Ederson instead.

Maximiliano Araujo ran to the byline and chipped a low cross towards the 24-year-old who stooped to conquer, throwing his head at the ball and wrong-footing the Manchester City man in goal.
It shows the confidence our striker is performing with at the moment and let’s hope he can keep this going in the Merseyside derby this weekend.
