Well, Liverpool are into the last 16 of the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side secured a handsome 3-0 victory away to Ajax tonight to seal their progression into the knockout phase of the competition.
Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool into a half-time lead, opening the scoring three minutes before the whistle.
And then second-half efforts from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott made it so much more comfortable for the Reds on a night that could’ve been very different, with the hosts hitting the post early on.
Nunez grew into the contest in a massive way and constantly threatened Ajax.
And here’s what Don Hutchison wrote about the 23-year-old Liverpool attacker – who earns £180,000 per week – on Twitter:
Darwin Nunez goal
This was only Nunez’s fifth goal in all competitions since joining the Anfield outfit in a club-record £85 million transfer this past summer.
He’s had a difficult start and there’s no doubt about that, but he’s slowly but surely beginning to find his feet.
It wasn’t goal a decent goal but a cracking all-round performance by the South American marksman tonight and hopefully for Liverpool and Klopp, it’s a sign of things to come.
As Hutchison said, this is a player who can be pure chaos and it’ll be fascinating to see if he can replicate this display against Leeds United in the Premier League over the weekend.
