He could have had a brace against the French outfit but was denied by the post as herounding goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with the goal gaping at him.
"He gets an A* in every part of his game, and his performance tonight was also fantastic but his finishing is a C at the moment - but that’s something he can work on." Cole hopes that Liverpool will stand vindicated for the £64 million that they paid upfront to Benfica for Nunez and compared him to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba who was a late-bloomer at Stamford Bridge.
