Statistics show that Darwin Nunez always helps Liverpool escape

VIỆT HÙNG |

When Liverpool seemed to be at a dead end, Darwin Nunez shined to bring a thrilling victory to The Kop.

Darwin Nunez scored both goals against Brentford in their away match in round 22 of the Premier League. The Uruguayan striker's goals came in the second half's extra time, so the excitement for Liverpool fans really exploded.

The most expensive contract in Liverpool's history did not start in this match as many times before. Nunez came on in the second half to replace Luis Diaz with the bag, a record he has not scored in the Premier League since November 2024. The last time Nunez scored a double was in April 2024 and no one thought he could be the hero to help Arne Slot's team leave with 3 points.

If Liverpool want Nunez to become a mainstay, always starting and shining, perhaps that will never happen. However, when coming off the bench, the 25-year-old star always knows how to create highlights. Since arriving at Anfield in the summer of 2022, Nunez has been involved in the most goals when coming on as a substitute (a total of 11, including 7 goals and 4 assists). Not only that, 8/24 goals of Nunez scored for The Kop in the last 15 minutes of the match.

"Nunez always brings great strength and energy. In most of Liverpool's games this season, especially in the last 30 minutes, we have completely controlled and dominated the side of the opposition half. That was the space where Nunez was in the best form. It's amazing!" - Arne Slot shared.

From the end of Jurgen Klopp's reign until Arne Slot's successor, Darwin Nunez has remained an unresolved problem. No formation or playing style has been assessed to be suitable for the former Benfica star. He cannot be an excellent "number 9" like Roberto Firmino but is not good enough to play "number 10".

Nunez is the embodiment of all emotions in every match. Before he scored twice to sink Brentford away, the Uruguayan striker continued to show his awkwardness when he headed the ball incorrectly in a close-range situation, followed by once again sending the ball over the crossbar at a favorable distance.

However, Nunez has never complained and continues to play with the most burning energy until the last minute. A double against the "Bees" and bringing 3 points to Liverpool was the reward for their enduring perseverance.

"I always think Nunez has had a good season. He works very hard, not only knows how to score, but also helps. Nunez has to compete with many good teammates at Anfield, which is also the reason why he does not often start.

However, I am very satisfied with this performance, it is not simply that he has scored 2 goals. Many other performances have left an impression on me" - Arne Slot shared.

There have been many rumors that Nunez will join the Saudi Pro League in January, but with this performance, the 25-year-old striker will not leave Anfield in a hurry. Next summer, when Slot begins his first personnel cleanup, Nunez's future will be clearer. For now, Liverpool fans should continue to enjoy the victory and the dedicated efforts of Nunez.
