Watch video: Darwin Nunez scores twice for Uruguay as fine form
Darwin Nunez looks like a different man this season and that continued in his latest game for Uruguay, with two goals on the international stage.
The first was assisted by Manchester United’s Facundo Pellistri, with the pulled back cross expertly converted by our No.9.
The 24-year-old was alive for another cross as he scored his second and his team’s third with 20 minutes remaining, ending the competition.
It was Nicolas de la Cruz who headed the ball across goal and our striker sent out a warning to Manchester City as he appears to be hitting top form at the perfect time.
He will return to Kirkby full of belief, having also been on target with a late strike against Argentina to secure a 2-0 victory last week.
It leaves Marcelo Bielsa’s side in second spot in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, having picked up 13 points from their opening six group games.
Nunez now has 21 goal involvements from his 23 appearances for club and country in all competitions this season, with his form trending rapidly in the right direction at the perfect time as far as Liverpool are concerned.
The Reds will face Man City on Saturday lunchtime looking to keep the pressure on their Premier League rivals, who they currently sit just one point behind at the top of the tree.
Nunez announced himself at the club by heading home the third goal to wrap up victory over Pep Guardiola’s side in last season’s Community Shield, and will be keen to notch his first league goal against this weekend’s opponents.
His first goal against Bolivia was the instinctive finish we have come to associate with the Uruguayan, who has attracted criticism for missed opportunities when given more time to weigh up his options.
He is clearly showing signs of becoming the player Liverpool knew he was capable of becoming when he arrived at Anfield, and will be looking to continue to rack up the numbers during the hectic schedule of the coming weeks and months.
That starts at midday on Saturday, where we are set to find out plenty about the Reds’ title credentials against arguably the best side on the planet currently.
