Darwin Nunez opened the scoring in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Southampton, officially winning a ticket to the semi-finals of the English League Cup

Liverpool continued to demonstrate their superiority when defeating Southampton in a match in the League Cup. Darwin Nunez opened the scoring, sending the Merseyside team straight to the semi-finals.

Southampton entered the match against Liverpool in the League Cup in a gloomy context. This team is sinking deep into the bottom of the Premier League table, winning only 1 match in a total of 16 rounds. Even Southampton’s home form is not good when only winning 2 matches in the last 10 matches. Those numbers make it difficult for fans to expect a surprise against Liverpool.

On the opposite side, Liverpool is flying high with a 19-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. The Red Devils of Merseyside not only top the Premier League table but also show destructive form in the Champions League. With 36 points after 15 matches, Liverpool proved to be a completely superior opponent to Southampton.

Immediately after the opening whistle, Liverpool quickly took the initiative. After only 24 minutes, Darwin Nunez scored the opening goal with a tricky shot into the bottom right corner of the goal from a precise cross. This goal helped the Uruguayan striker continue to affirm his important role in coach Jürgen Klopp’s squad.
