Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool have got a 'real player' in Darwin Nunez after the Uruguayan came off the bench to make a massive impact in the 2-0 win against Napoli last night.
Liverpool were unable to overturn the four-goal deficit and top Group A at Anfield - they could face some tough opponents in the round-of-16 - but did manage to exact some semblance of revenge on a Napoli side unbeaten in all competitions since April. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring on 85 minutes, stabbing home from close range after Nunez 's header was saved, before the Uruguayan himself poked home a second in injury-time.
It was Nunez, who only featured for the final 17 minutes plus added-time, whose presence turned a relatively uneventful goalless draw into a final quarter of chaos, whipping the Anfield crowd into a frenzy and playing his part in both goals. And former Reds captain Carragher heaped praise on the £64million summer signing after the final whistle, admitting he cannot keep his eyes off the 'scary' striker.
