If he had a little more luck, Darwin Nunez could have scored himself not only at the end of the first half but also in the first 10 minutes of the second half after such assists from teammate Mohamed Salah. However, the Uruguayan striker redeemed himself with an assist in the 56th minute for Salah to score the third goal after host Liverpool received a corner kick on the right wing.
