Darwin Nunez showed off his “bad boy” side in the Premier League on Sunday following Liverpool’s victory over Brighton and Hove Albion, which propelled them two points clear at the top of the table.

Liverpool quickly responded to Roberto De Zerbi’s early lead with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in a match that took place before other title contenders Manchester City and Arsenal drew 0-0 at the Etihad Stadium. The Reds successfully maintained their advantage and earned maximum points.

Despite this victory, the race for the Premier League title remains wide open, with the final weeks of the season determining the eventual winners of England’s top flight division.

Nunez played 83 minutes before being replaced by Harvey Elliott, who completed the final 13 minutes at Anfield. In a heartwarming gesture captured by Rising Ballers, the Uruguayan forward brightened a lucky ball boy’s day by giving him his match-worn shirt. According to a social media post, as Nunez walked off the field after being substituted, he noticed a fan’s sign in the crowd requesting his shirt. Instead of giving it to the fan, he turned and gave it to the young ballboy.

This incident elicited a mixed response on social media. Some saw it as an inspirational moment for the ball boy, while others speculated that Nunez may not have understood the English written on the sign, prompting his decision to give the shirt to the ball boy instead.
