Liverpool’s Darwin Nunes has shown the perfect way to answer Paul Scholes’ doubts about his scoring ability. Scholes was forced to retract what he said about Nunes after the Liverpool man scored a stunning goal. The Uruguay international has been the talk of the town this season, but he changed the minds of many, including the former Manchester United star, after scoring against Burnley. After receiving a pass from Cody Gakpo,
Nunez scored the first goal of the game with a powerful strike to put Jurgen Klopp’s side at the top of the league. He has eight goals and seven assists this season and is closing in on his 15-assist total from last season. Nunes played for Lancashire on Tuesday and continued to show how important he is to Klopp this year. Scholes, who sometimes dislikes what Nunes does well, said Nunes’ goal against Vincent Kompany showed he can really score. . “He got some criticism from me for his finishing before the game,”
Scholes said of Nunes on Premier League Productions last night. I said in one such game against Bournemouth earlier this season (it would be one such game for him) that I thought he had done something.“It’s a nice, controlled, great finish. Others seem as simple and abandoned as he wants them to be.”
