In the match against Sheffield United, Darwin Nunez showed chaos when he lost the ball, regained the ball and then assisted Dominik Szoboszlai to score Liverpool’s second goal.

Liverpool won 2-0 against Sheffield United to close the gap with top team Arsenal to 2 points.

Virgil van Dijk opened the scoring in the 37th minute after a corner kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Red Brigade sealed the victory in stoppage time when Dominik Szoboszlai scored the second goal after a pass from Nunez.

The Uruguayan, who only came on in the second half, made a stunning pass to the Hungarian midfielder after making a precise tackle to get the ball back.

 

But before making such quality plays, he was the one who… lost the ball. This situation summarizes Nunez’s image since arriving at Liverpool: extremely unstable.
