Michael Owen and Steve McManaman have both backed Darwin Nunez to maintain his impressive form after the forward's two goals in Liverpool's 3-1 victory against Southampton.
Nunez has come under criticism from rival supporters since making his summer move from Benfica, not helped by a foolish red card received in his first game at Anfield versus Crystal Palace back in August.
Since returning to the starting XI, the 23-year-old has proved his doubters wrong and is beginning to justify why the Reds agreed a package deal worth £85m to bring the Uruguayan to Merseyside.
