Jurgen Klopp praised the effective movement displayed by Darwin Nunez during Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Southampton on Saturday afternoon but recognised this was far from being a perfect collective display.
Nunez was twice on target at Anfield to take his goalscoring tally for the season to nine in all competitions, in what was arguably the most convincing outing yet from the Reds’ summer signing.
The Uruguayan striker put Liverpool 2-1 up against the Saints after controlling a floated through ball played by Harvey Elliott before slotting into the bottom right corner of the goal. Key to this finish was the forward’s intelligence to drop deeper before making his move to attack the ball, ensuring he did not stray offside.
