When Liverpool seemed to be at a standstill, Darwin Nunez shone again to bring victory to The Kop in a scenario.

Darwin Nunez was the one who scored both goals against Brentford in the away match in round 22 of the Premier League. The Uruguayan striker’s goals all came in the second half’s injury time, so the emotions for Liverpool fans really.

The most expensive contract in Liverpool’s history did not start in this match like many times before. Nunez came on in the second half to replace Luis Diaz with a record of not scoring 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 army leave with 3 points.

If Liverpool wanted Nunez to become a pillar to carry the team, always starting and shining, perhaps that would never happen. However, when coming off the bench, the 25-year-old star always knows how to make an impression. 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 of Nunez’s goals for The Kop have come in the last 15 minutes of the match.

“Nunez always brings a lot of strength and energy. In most of Liverpool’s matches this season, especially in the last 30 minutes, we completely control and dominate the opponent’s 1/3 of the field. That’s the space where Nunez is at his best. It’s great!” – Arne Slot shared.
