Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with the performance of club-record signing Darwin Nunez after he was introduced to proceedings off the bench against Manchester City.
The two sides have long been challenging each other for the game's biggest honours and while it was not a major trophy at stake on Saturday, it was still the Community Shield on the line. If this meeting was one that provided both clubs with a chance to feel each other out, it was the Reds who delivered the first punch of the season with a dominant 3-1 victory.
Nunez's efforts went down well in the eyes of his manager, who waxed lyrical over his cameo appearance after the game. "Yeah he’s good. Today we played the smartest passes, we need these balls from the side," Klopp explained.
