Jurgen Klopp has praised Darwin Nunez after he returned to Liverpool’s starting XI for their 1-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday night.
The Uruguayan, who has scored 15 goals in his maiden season at Anfield, had started just once in the Reds’ last seven matches since the March international break. Meanwhile, he hadn’t started in his favoured central attacking position since the 3-0 loss away at Wolves at the start of February.
In his absence from the starting XI, Liverpool had put together a six-game unbeaten run, winning their last four matches. But the 23-year-old made a decisive impact as he started down the middle against Fulham, winning the penalty that earned the Reds a hard-fought win.
