Substitute Darwin Nunez's stoppage-time double gave Liverpool a 2-0 win at Brentford on Saturday, as the Premier League leaders left it late to record their first league win of 2025. The Reds looked set to be denied with Brentford repelling wave after wave of attacks,

Darwin Nunez was still trotting on to the pitch having been introduced midway through the second half when he was serenaded by chants from the home crowd that suggested the Uruguayan was, in polite terms, an inferior version of former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll.

Darwin Nunez was taunted by Brentford’s fans after going on as a substitute in the 65th minute, and wasted a big chance before turning home a cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold to give Liverpool the lead.
