Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah: A tale of love from Liverpool

“I know Darwin’s stride because I workout with him. I am aware of how he enjoys playing. We simply move when we.

Since Mohamed Salah rarely speaks in public, it is worthwhile to pay attention when he does. And in the warm aftermath of a much-needed three points, the kudos given to fellow Liverpool attacker Darwin Nunez following Monday night’s 2-0 Merseyside derby victory against Everton at Anfield went beyond simple platitudes. It was heartfelt.

Although it may be too soon to predict that Nunez-Salah will one day trip off the tongue like Toshack-Keegan, Rush-Dalglish, and McManaman-Fowler, Liverpool has a rich history of duos (or triumvirates in more recent years).

With a chance created together every 52 minutes, Nunez and Salah are presently the most productive combination in the Premier League. Considering that Nunez only came from Benfica last summer, that is even more impressive.

Nunez now has four goals this season, all for the Egypt international, after helping Salah score the game-opening goal in Monday’s derby.

In terms of general inventiveness, the Uruguayan is also very competitive. With just a few of the league’s top creators ahead of him, he is tied for eighth place with nine great opportunities made. This will undoubtedly increase his season-long assist total. Salah, however, is presently equal for 16th place in the division after creating six significant opportunities.
