There was a collective intake of breath as Darwin Nunez stepped up to the penalty spot to capitalise on the award of a spot-kick after Luis Diaz was downed by RB Leipzig’s No.1.
The Uruguayan’s effort was simply too powerful for Janis Blaswich to keep out of the net, despite getting a hand to the effort.
Hopefully it’ll be the confidence boost the 23-year-old needs to get the ball rolling with Jurgen Klopp’s men and silence the outpouring of criticism online.
