Trent Alexander-Arnold makes blunt Darwin Nunez 'growth' point after Liverpool brace

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes Darwin Nunez has shown clear signs of growth since arriving after he scored twice in today's 3-1 win at home to Southampton.

Nunez' brace all but wrapped up a fourth consecutive win in all competitions by half-time, with the Uruguayan finishing brilliantly from Harvey Elliot's deep cross to make it 2-1 before sliding in to poke home an Andy Robertson cross minutes before the break. Roberto Firmino had opened the scoring at Anfield after just six minutes when he also got on the end of a Robertson cross, but Che Adams equalised almost instantly.

Since arriving from Benfica for £64million, Nunez has endured a chaotic start to life on Merseyside, scoring in his two opening fixtures before being sent off for headbutting Joachim Andersen. But a string of fine performances capped off by seven goals in his last 10 appearances if proof he is now finding his feet.
