As the goals rained down on Leeds United at Elland Road on Monday night, Darwin Nunez sat awaiting the nod, no doubt licking his lips in anticipation.
As Diogo Jota struck a double to end a 12-month wait without a goal either side of Mohamed Salah's 26th of the season, Nunez was forced to kick his heels on the sidelines as Liverpool tore their hosts to shreds during an excellent second-half.
Introduced for the final 10 minutes or so as part of a quartet of changes, Nunez was at least given enough time to record the Reds' sixth on the night with a smartly taken finish after a couple of excellent touches to bring down the majestic Trent Alexander-Arnold's pass for his second assist of the night.
