The Reds advanced to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night after defeating the Cherries 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium.
Cody Gakpo opened the scoring after half an hour before Justin Kluivert levelled the match in the second-half, but just a few minutes later Nunez fired home the winner with a sumptuous strike into the top right corner. After a tricky first season at Anfield, the forward has been in scintillating form this campaign, registering seven goals and five assists in 14 games so far.
His efforts have not gone unnoticed, with Liverpool legend Suarez full of praise for his Uruguay teammate.
Replying to Nunez’s Instagram post about the win, Suarez said: ‘BREATHTAKING beast! Keep it up, goleador! #YNWA’ Comparisons between Nunez and Suarez were inevitable when the former signed from Benfica in a deal worth up to £85million, and after an underwhelming debut season where he only scored 15 goals and notably missed many big chances, some were quick to call him a flop.
Luis Suarez has labelled Darwin Nunez a ‘breathtaking beast’ after scoring a stunning goal in Liverpool’s win at Bournemouth.
