Ian Wright has praised Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez on ITV (7:03pm, July 30, 2022) for his performance for Jurgen Klopp’s side against Manchester City on Saturday.
Liverpool got the better of Premier League rivals Manchester City 3-1 at the King Power Stadium in the FA Community Shield.
Nunez, who joined Liverpool in the summer transfer window, did not start the match.
However, the 23-year-old striker came on as a substitute and made a massive impact.
The Uruguay international striker earned the penalty that Mohamed Salah successfully converted, and then scored the third goal for the Reds.
