Michael Owen believes Darwin Nunez plays 'on the edge' and has compared him to fellow Uruguayan Luis Suarez.
The 23-year-old scored his first goal at Anfield since signing from Benfica in the 1-0 win against West Ham on Wednesday evening, taking his tally to five across all competitions for the season. Despite a rocky start to life on Merseyside, Nunez has impressed in recent weeks for the problems he has given defences - particularly in an all-action 18-minute spell against Manchester City last Sunday.
That cameo gave Reds fans a true idea of what they can expect from their £64million-man, whose powerful runs in behind and relentless effort gave City's backline nightmares. And former Reds striker Owen believes Liverpool's new leading man plays a similar 'on the edge' game to his compatriot and another former Kop favourite.
