Darwin Nunez suffers more misery as Brighton fans sing brutal chant at Liverpool striker

Darwin Nunez was on the receiving end of a savage taunt from Brighton fans as Liverpool were held to another draw on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds appeared to have completed a stunning comeback to recover from 2-0 down with just over quarter of an hour played and lead 3-2 with seven minutes remaining at Anfield. Roberto Firmino struck twice and an Adam Webster own-goal midway through the second half gave the hosts the lead, after Leandro Trossard scored a quick-fire double early on.

However, Liverpool hearts were broken in the 83rd minute, when Trossard appeared at the back post to fire past Alisson and level the scores by completing his extraordinary hat-trick. Nunez, signed from Benfica this summer for an initial fee of £64million which could rise to a club-record £85m, had to settle for a spot on the bench before he replaced Thiago in the 89th minute.
