ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?
Nunez got onto the end of a fine lob from Mac Allister and sent it into the net to restore the Reds' lead in the 3-1 win at Anfield on Sunday. The Uruguayan has four goals and two assists to his name this season, helping Jurgen Klopp's team remain unbeaten so far.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 24-year-old endured a slow start to life at Liverpool since joining from Benfica and scored just nine goals in his first season in the Premier League. Mac Allister believes he is showing his true ability now, however, and backed him to be a key figure for the Merseyside club.

WHAT THEY SAID
"I think he's getting better and better. I think we will see the best of him this year. He's a very nice guy, he's working very hard. I'm really pleased for him," he told Liverpool's website.
On his assist, the Argentina star said: "It was a nice pass. I saw Mo and Darwin were going in behind, so I just had to play the ball and Darwin did the rest."
