Ian Doyle looks at the key talking points after Liverpool moved five points clear at the Premier League summit with a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa on Saturday evening
Attempting to fathom what makes Darwin Nunez the player he is has long been a futile endeavour. The Uruguayan’s unpredictability will forever be his most predictable attribute.
While pushed wide by Emiliano Martinez, the odds were increasingly stacked against the striker only for Nunez to show great presence of mind to lift his finish over the diving Villa goalkeeper and into the net. And it has been easy for observers from outside Merseyside to overlook the fact Liverpool have now played more than a month without their first-choice goalkeeper who also has a strong claim for being the best in the world in the position.
While Kelleher’s undoubted ability with the ball at his feet has also helped, it’s in keeping the ball out of the net that goalkeepers earn their corn.
