It was an almost perfect first half for Liverpool in Wednesday's match at Anfield against Chelsea after going4-1 up with goals from Conor Bradley and Portugal's Diogo Jota, but at the end of the first half Darwin Nunez had a penalty that he ended up missing as he crashed the ball against the post, which generated a very striking reaction from German manager Jurgen Klopp.

The score opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a great finish from Portuguese striker Diogo Jota, who beat several Blue defenders in a Messi-style move to score for the Reds and beat the opposition goalkeeper. Then it was the turn of academy player Conor Bradley who took advantage of a good assist from Luis Diaz and from the right flank hit a powerful shot with his right foot to make it 2-0.

Near the end of the first half there was a penalty in favour of the reds due to a hard foul on the Portuguese Diogo Jota and if the Uruguayan was infallible in penalty kicks he crashed his shot against the post and missed a penalty for the first time. He has also become the player with the most balls on the post in Liverpool's history, surpassing his compatriot Luis Suarez.

The reaction

The TV shot showed German coach Jurgen Klopp, who preferred to turn his back on the play and did not see Darwin Nunez's shot, but when he realised he had missed the chance, he made an expression that has become a trend on social media and was also recorded on the TV shot. Darwin Núñez has not had a good season at least in terms of scoring goals but he has become a vital player for Liverpool with his assists. In the closing stages of the game there was another shot that hit the post for a total of four similar actions in the entire match.
