Rafa Benitez has compared Darwin Nunez to Fernando Torres after the Uruguayan scored against Newcastle on Saturday night.
Nunez, 23, found the net to help Liverpool complete a 2-0 win at St James' Park. The result could prove crucial come the end of the season, as it leaves Liverpool eighth in the Premier League table - six points behind Newcastle in fourth with a game in hand,
Nunez has faced criticism since his £85million move from Benfica last summer due to the team's poor form and his modest record - scoring 11 goals this season. Yet Benitez, who coached Liverpool between 2004 and 2010, is a fan of Jurgen Klopp's expensive striker.
