Mohamed Salah couldn’t believe his eyes.
The Egyptian went down as Liverpool’s hopes of a late-night goal began to fade and was stunned by Darwin Nunez’s stunning second-half tackle against Luton Town.
With 20 minutes remaining at Kenilworth Road, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross found Salah at the back post. The Egyptian’s header was deflected by Nunez, who was sure to become Liverpool’s increasingly prolific goalscorer.
It was a new beginning for Traveler Corp. Instead, in what has become an unfortunate theme in the Uruguayan’s Anfield career so far, he curled the ball over the bar, taking advantage of Tomas Kaminsky’s goal.
In the end, his face was saved by Luis Diaz’s equalizer in extra time.That display at Kenilworth Road, where he failed to get past Kaminski in any of his nine attempts, is further evidence that, despite his early campaign promise, the Uruguayan’s expectations should be spent this campaign.

Yes, it has been a season of exponential progress, with Jurgen Klopp admitting last week that Nunes was at “a different point” to the difficulties he had to endure in his debut Premier League season.
Nunes is also impressive in terms of numbers. Indeed, no one in the Premier League averages more shots on goal per 90 minutes than Liverpool’s nine (2.29) and in their 10th season they have recorded a goal return or assist approx. every 72 minutes.
We will continue with this campaign.“His pace, his finishing skills, his desire. When he’s fit, he can go and get him again because he’s a very good player,” Klopp added. “You don’t know where he’s going to be. It’s his first year and he has a lot of money and we all know it.
Yes, he scored, but that’s not always the case. Even after another year and another year, he’s still a player with a lot of potential. Potential. But that’s it.”It shows that some players need time. We forget that.
About Wataru Endo, people ask, “Why isn’t it like that?” he believed. But his personality is different from other boys. You can tell by watching his steps.
