Liverpool got the three points against West Ham thanks to a great connection between Alexis Mac Allister and Darwin Nunez

Liverpool got the three points against West Ham thanks to a great connection between Alexis Mac Allister and Darwin Nunez. Sunday 24 September saw the completion of the sixth round of Premier League fixtures and one of the games of the day was West Ham's visit to Liverpool at Anfield. It was a tight encounter until Alexis Mac Allister teamed up with Darwin Nunez for the Reds' second goal.

 

It was a match of great intensity at Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool took the lead on the quarter-hour mark from the penalty spot. Mohamed Salah made no mistake from the spot, but the equaliser came on 42 minutes when Jarrod Bowen scored after a great team move by the visitors. The game was deadlocked after the equaliser and it took until the 60th minute for the game-breaking goal. A stunning Latin American connection between new signing Alexis Mac Allister and Darwin Núñez gave Liverpool the lead.

On the hour mark, Mac Allister picked up the ball unmarked in the attacking half and, in front of a West Ham defence that looked well marshalled, played the aerial pass into space for Darwin Nunez to beat his marker to the ball. The Uruguayan then finished in a masterly manner with real intent. Just when it looked like Liverpool had the points in the bag, Diogo Jota popped up to deny the visitors any chance of an equaliser. With only five minutes left to play, the Reds had a shot on target.

 

<strong>The celebration</strong>

In the magnificent goal scored by the Uruguayan, there was an unedited shot recorded by the fans present at Anfield where you can see and hear the emotion of the Uruguayan's goal, which at that moment gave the Reds the lead in the match. Luis Diaz can be seen embracing Darwin Nunez in a picture that reflects the companionship.
