Darwin Nunez scored a bullet header to open the scoring for Liverpool against West Ham.
Nunez has received a fair amount of criticism since his big-money move to Liverpool. The Uruguayan is only a young lad, moving to a new country to continue his progression as a footballer, and he’s bound to take some time to settle in.
He certainly answered the critics early on against West Ham, as he powered a header home to give Liverpool the lead.
