Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has taken to social media to express his delight at opening his account for the club during their Community Shield win over rivals Manchester City.
The Uruguayan was named among the substitutes for the season's curtain raiser on Saturday evening as Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring in the first-half with a curling effort. Nunez entered the fray shortly before the hour mark but Pep Guardiola's side hit back through Julian Alvarez.
Jurgen Klopp noted in his pre-match interview that the 23-year-old would feature and when he did he had an immediate impact, going close with a one-on-one which was well-saved by Ederson. But after combining with Mohamed Salah, his header was diverted off target by the hand of Ruben Dias and after consultation with the VAR monitor, the Reds were awarded a penalty.
