Darwin Nunez grabbed the headlines on Saturday as his two goals helped Liverpool to a 3-1 win at home to Southampton.
The Uruguayan showed every bit of his endearingly chaotic qualities in the two goals that took his side from 1-1 to 3-1 and eventual victory. Roberto Firmino opened the scoring early on before Che Adams, but it was Nunez - served brilliantly by Harvey Elliott and then Andy Robertson - whose killer instinct handed Jurgen Klopp's side a fourth consecutive win in all competitions and a comforting dash of optimism to take into the World Cup break.
Liverpool ended the day in sixth, and will remain there for the next six weeks if Brighton fail to beat Aston Villa this afternoon. Most importantly, they could kick off their Boxing Day trip to Villa Park with seven points between them and fourth place.
