Alan Shearer has named both Alisson Becker and Darwin Nunez in his Premier League Team of the Week after their commanding displays during the 3-1 defeat of Southampton ensured Jurgen Klopp's side signed off for the World Cup with a vital three points.
Roberto Firmino's glancing header - after a fine delivery from Andy Robertson - saw the Reds open the scoring after just seven minutes. That was before the Saints replied immediately as Che Adams connected with James Ward-Prowse's free-kick at the Kop End and cancelled out the Brazilian's seventh Premier League goal of the season.
However, with 25 minutes of the first half remaining, Nunez took it upon himself to be the difference-maker as he fired two goals in quick succession to put Liverpool well and truly out of sight. His first, a well-timed volley - after a delightful pass from Harvey Elliott - into the corner of Gavin Bazunu's goal. Just moments before referee Simon Hooper was due to signal for half-time, the Uruguayan struck again. This time exhibiting his incredible sixth sense to sniff out the danger of Robertson's low-driven cross, which he connected with fiercely to hand the Reds a much-deserved two-goal cushion heading into the break.
