Luis Diaz has not managed a single goal against Manchester United, where they lost 4-0, Crystal Palace in Singapore and now against Leipzig in Germany in the Reds' win where Mohamed Salah was also able to score in the 8th minute.

Nunez took the afternoon, after coming on in the second half, the Benfica striker, who cost around 75 million euros, scored a penalty and then managed to score a hat-trick of goals to position himself as the player of the match, also praised on social media.

Nunez's goals

The No.27 had a second moments later, finishing with aplomb after Liverpool had regained possession in midfield and Trent Alexander-Arnold sent him clear inside the area. Nunez’s hat-trick was completed with 69 minutes showing on the clock when he touched in a low cross from Harvey Elliott from close range. His final act was to cap a fine night’s work for Jürgen Klopp’s side by sweeping in his fourth – and the Reds’ fifth – at the death following a counter-attack spearheaded by Fabio Carvalho.
