Liverpool fans make Darwin Nunez feelings clear as Suarez comparisons emerge

Darwin Nunez has earned the Kop seal of approval as he leaves for World Cup duty. He’s even part of a mural at the back of the Anfield Road End stand, which is currently being enlarged

Darwin Nunez is rapidly acquiring the hero status Liverpool fans bestowed on another Uruguayan sharp shooter Luis Suarez.

A brilliantly taken double made it a Premier League baptism of fire for new Saints boss Nathan Jones and a comfortable afternoon for Anfield manager Jurgen Klopp, forced to sit in the stand following a one-match touchline ban.

Klopp confessed that he expected the ban once the FA contested the original punishment but not the timing of it.

“It was not cool that we only got the info yesterday,” he said. “I expected to get the ban of course but when it is Friday afternoon, training done we had to organise a bit but it is cool. We got the messages across.”
