It was a positive result for Liverpool as we put three goals past Brentford without reply and one man in particular impressed one on-watching pundit.

‘It was a good save and there’s more good play from Darwin Nunez, but he’s offside again’.

The Uruguayan clearly impressed the former Everton man with his display at Anfield and it’s hard not to be encouraged with every chance we get to see him shine.
Let’s hope that the former Benfica forward can enjoy a happy and healthy international break, with all eyes on our clash with Manchester City when he returns.
The Reds have found some good form and let’s hope we can continue to build upon this!
