Striker Darwin Nunez had an extremely good chance to score against Toulouse, but he missed it to everyone’s surprise.
In the 65th minute, Darwin Nunez had a good time breaking the offside trap and opening up the pace to catch a pass from his teammate. The Uruguayan striker is also excellent when turning the ball inside to eliminate the opponent’s defender.He then even surpassed the opposing goalkeeper.But with an empty goal in front of him, he hit the post.Luckily for Nunez, Gravenberch responded promptly and scored for Liverpool. Immediately after this situation, the Uruguayan striker was replaced by coach Jurgen Klopp.
Nunez’s miss was reminiscent of former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. After leaving Liverpool to join Chelsea, Torres’ performance declined a lot. He left behind an unforgettable moment, which was dribbling past David de Gea, but shooting the ball incorrectly in front of MU’s empty goal.
The ball was replayed many times, but it did not make fans forget Nunez’s impressive performance in the previous hour of play. He showed a strong desire to contribute and assert himself, constantly moving to find space.
In the past, Torres had a miss when facing an empty goal.
The 24-year-old striker was present at every hot spot, and had no less than two opportunities to complete the double but missed them both. In the end, Liverpool had a strong 5-1 victory at home against Toulouse.
