'It's a joke' - Jurgen Klopp issues Darwin Nunez warning after Liverpool goal

Jurgen Klopp is confident Darwin Nunez will only continue to improve after putting in a statement performance against Manchester City.

As was the case when he opened his goalscoring account for Liverpool versus RB Leipzig, the Uruguayan forward required only one half of football to make his mark. Deployed just before the hour mark on this occasion, the 23-year-old was pivotal to the Reds' Community Shield win as fans were provided another indication of his quality.

Moments after emerging from the substitutes' bench, Nunez looked to have won a penalty for Klopp's side after being brought down by Ederson - only for the offside flag to be raised and deny what looked a certain spot-kick. It wouldn't take long for the former Benfica man to be at the heart of things once again.
