From the first blast of Stuart Attwell's whistle at Anfield on Wednesday, a determined Darwin Nunez was out to prove a point for Liverpool.
After being told by his manager, Jurgen Klopp, that his defensive qualities and linguistic skills needed to be improved, Nunez started the game against Fulham hell-bent on showing that he had been listening. Or at least had the message translated to him.
As the ball was knocked back to the visiting defence, the former Benfica striker hared after it, chasing it with all the boundless enthusiasm of the family's new pedigree Dobermann before it was punted up field.
