Darwin Nunez steps out of the darkness to save Liverpool

An An |

Darwin Nunez came off the bench and scored a double to help Liverpool beat Brentford 2-0 in round 22 of the Premier League.

When the referee raised the sign that there would be 4 minutes of extra time in a chaotic match between Brentford and Liverpool, Liverpool's most disappointing player was the one who kept his cool.

A match that seemed to end without any goals scored suddenly, somehow, had a score of 2-0 in favor of The Kop.

Nunez started the game off the bench as his teammates showed incredible waste. By the end of the match, Liverpool had taken 37 shots towards Brentford, a record number in nearly 9 years and the most of any other away team since Opta started collecting data 21 years ago.

In that context, strangely, it was the Uruguayan's last two shots that created a turning point.

Nunez will be the first to admit that he has had a difficult season, making just seven Premier League appearances. His double against Brentford was his first in the league since November 9, 2024. And so far, he has only scored 4 goals in the Premier League this year.

There have been rumors that coach Arne Slot will consider selling Nunez in the January transfer window. However, after the match against Brentford, perhaps the Dutch strategist will think differently.

Eight of Nunez's 24 Premier League goals came in the 75th minute. Initially, Nunez was not signed to become Liverpool's "Ole Gunnar Solskjaer", a "super sub" that could help the team win. But at the moment, that is the role that he seems to be completely suitable to take on.

Since joining Liverpool in the 2022-2023 season, Nunez has been directly involved in more goals as a substitute than any other player (7 goals and 4 assists).

"Darwin Nunez always makes a big impact every time he comes on. He brings energy, strength and the ability to make a difference at important moments" - Slot commented on Nunez after the win over Brentford.

Not long after Liverpool's victory, Arsenal lost the 2-goal lead and were held to a draw by Aston Villa. A day of disappointment for Liverpool ended when they widened their gap to 6 points over Arsenal. Remember, they have played 1 match less than their opponents.
