Liverpool FC defender dismisses 'unfair' comparisons of Darwin Nunez and Man City's Erling Haaland

Comparisons between Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland and Liverpool's £85m striker Darwin Nunez are 'unfair', according to Nunez's teammate Andy Robertson.

The pair were naturally compared in the summer, with Haaland joining City for £51m, and Nunez costng up to £85m for Liverpool as both title rivals spent big on strengthening their attacks. When Nunez enjoyed a good pre-season and then scored in Liverpool's Community Shield win over City - and Haaland didn't - there were plenty of suggestions that Nunez would be the better purchase.

However, since that game, Haaland hasn't looked back, scoring 22 goals in 16 appearances, failing to find the net on just three occasions. Nunez has six goals in 13 appearances, although a three-match ban for a headbutt slowed his progress, and he has started only three league games.
