It was a forgettable first 45 minutes for Liverpool players and fans alike, but it could have been very different if Darwin Nunez had managed to find the back of the net, following a brilliant pass from Mo Salah.
The Egyptian king got the ball airborne with ease and then found his Uruguayan teammate with a sublime through ball, which did almost everything right.

Unfortunately for our No.27 and everyone of the red persuasion though, Ben Mee got back on the line and managed to clear the ball to safety.
The 23-year-old would be forgiven for thinking about what else he needs to do to score right now, but let’s hope they start coming soon.
