Darwin Nunez celebrates with fellow substitute Federico Chiesa after scoring Liverpools second goa
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.
Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo spurned good opportunities before the break, with Ryan Gravenberch forcing a diving stop from Mark Flekken and Dominik Szoboszlai skimming the bar as the visitors cranked up the pressure.
But Brentford held firm and seemed on course for a deserved point until Nunez tapped in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross from close range in the 91st minute, before he added a second two minutes later to seal the points. (Reuters)
