A 7-0 victory over a major rival is always going to unearth a goldmine of trivia. Much of it will be niche, lots of it largely pointless, but all of it glorious if your team is on the right side of the score line.
Liverpool supporters will have been lapping up stats and facts continually since their side dismantled Manchester United on Sunday. Way down the list of numerical minutiae was something related to Darwin Nunez’ first goal, the Reds’ second of the afternoon.
It was the 100th headed goal Liverpool have scored in the Premier League since the start of Jurgen Klopp’s first full season in charge in 2016/17. Nunez added a second later in the game, meaning the Reds have netted at least 27 more headers than any other team in the division over the last seven seasons. They have been streets ahead of the competition in this regard.
