A brilliant brace
Following up his City Ground heroics five days later, Nunez scored two terrific goals away at Sparta Prague in the Europa League knockouts.
Liverpool’s lead was doubled midway through the first half by the attacker’s powerful and bending effort from all of 25 yards out.
The opening period was then completed with an unstoppable Nunez smash past the goalkeeper from Mac Allister’s ball over the top.
Another to add to the collection
Bournemouth bore the brunt of another Nunez beauty at the start of last season.
Putting the Reds 3-0 ahead at Anfield with only 37 minutes played, a blistering attack ended with the No.9 squaring up his defender in the right channel of the penalty area and taking aim from there.
He ended up arching a stunning effort into the far corner of the net with a kiss off the post.
Arne Slot revealed in his post-match press conference: “My first instinct when he shot, I said, ‘Why does he shoot? Why don’t you keep on dribbling?’
“But then there was a fraction of a second later when I saw the ball went in off the post and I was like, ‘OK, maybe you are a better football player than I was in the past!'”
Late and great at Brentford
There are many highlights from Liverpool’s Premier League-winning campaign of 2024-25, and Nunez’s contribution away at Brentford in January is a standout.
