On this day in 2022, Darwin Nunez made his Premier League debut and the Uruguayan is still the subject of the same scrutiny which plagued his early days as a Liverpool player
It took Darwin Nunez just 13 Premier League minutes to show Liverpool fans what he was all about. With the Reds a goal down to Fulham on the opening day of the 2022/23 season, the Uruguayan was unleashed at Craven Cottage, coming off the bench to make his top-flight bow in place of Roberto Firmino. Within a quarter-of-an hour, the visitors were level courtesy of an audacious, back-heeled finish from their new centre-forward.
Nunez had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes before he made the perplexing decision to play a square pass in the direction of Luis Diaz, instead of taking aim himself from less than 12 yards out. The striker then saw one effort well-saved by Marek Rodak and another bundled off the line before sending a volley well wide of the target late on. Of course, missing chances is part and parcel of being a No.
