Darwin Nunez might have been the name on everybody’s lips come the final whistle as Liverpool beat Napoli 2-0 at Anfield on Tuesday night, but it was a different story for the majority of the game as the Champions League group-stages came to an end.
With both sides already through to the knockout stages, it was hardly a ‘famous Anfield European night’ as tame blows were exchange, before Nunez’ s emergence from the bench turned the tide in the Reds’ favour. Helping create Mohamed Salah ’s opener after his header was parried before tapping home a goal of his own in stoppage-time, supporters were left chanting his name after his latest decisive impact.
But before the match exploded into life, many Liverpool fans had instead been impressed by a forward in Napoli’s ranks - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
