With a dominant and clinical display, Liverpool destroyed West Ham in tonight’s Carabao Cup match, defeating the visitors 5-1 at Anfield.
In the second half, the Irons collapsed, with Curtis Jones scoring a double and Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, and Mo Salah also scoring.
Although Darwin Nunez’s goalless run has now reached 11 games, he was unable to fully partake in the celebration, but the Uruguayan should be quite proud of his performance that evening.
The statistics from Sofascore demonstrate just how much the 24-year-old terrorised a weak West Ham club. He recorded four shots, one of which unfortunately deflected wide after hitting the post and won a team-high eight duels.
In an all-action performance that should give his many detractors pause, Nunez also completed four crucial passes and recorded an 84% pass success rate.
The Uruguayan forward was back to his typical vivacious self tonight after appearing abnormally languid in previous games. The Irons were unable to contain his persistent running, which gave them nightmares.
The 24-year-old’s lack of a goal to break his goalless run was unfortunate, but if he continues to play at this calibre, it won’t be long until his name appears on the scoresheet once more.
