Darwin Nunez put Liverpool in a commanding position with two quickfire goals in the second half of today’s pre-season friendly against Greuther Furth.
Shortly after the home side equalised, the Uruguayan got on the end of a sublime through ball from Mo Salah and took one touch around the German side’s goalkeeper before dispatching to the net to put the Reds 2-1 in front.
A few minutes later the 24-year-old doubled his tally and LFC’s lead, with the Egyptian again providing the assist as he chipped the ball through for the onrushing Nunez to bear down on goal, cut onto his left foot and fire past Jonas Urbig.
Having also scored against Karlsruher last Wednesday, Nunez is in flying form during Liverpool’s pre-season, which bodes very well for the upcoming campaign!

There is nothing wrong with attack and mid-field but we still have that useless defence and if that is all we have for the season then nothing will come of it. We will need an attack to give us 8-10 goals per match to make up for that defence !!!
