Liverpool manager Arne Slot has heaped praise on striker Darwin Nunez after his goalscoring display against Bournemouth.
Darwin Nunez was handed his first Premier League start of the season against Bournemouth and he managed to live up to the expectations. The Uruguayan striker produced an impressive performance overall and scored a stunning goal in the first half to help his side secure all three points.
Nunez has always had an impressive overall game, but his finishing has left a lot to be desired. He looked quite sharp against Bournemouth, and Arne Slot hopes that he can build on his performance from yesterday and add more goals to his game.
Slot has preferred Diogo Jota over the South American striker this season, leading to claims of unhappiness from pundits. However, Darwin Nunez was handed the opportunity to showcase his ability yesterday, and he has grabbed it with both hands. He will hope to hold on to a place in the starting lineup now.
Meanwhile, the words of praise from Liverpool manager Arne Slot will certainly boost the confidence of Darwin Nunez, and he will look to improve on his performances in the coming weeks.
Speaking on Match of the Day (h/t Mirror), Slot said, “We hope we are adding goals [to his game] because that is what you need from a striker but this work rate was really good. We have a lot of good players, a lot of competition, and as long as they keep performing it is a very good thing for me.”
Liverpool have started well under Arne Slot
Liverpool have made an impressive start of the Premier League campaign so far, with four wins from five matches. They will be hoping to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City for the league title, and it remains to be seen whether they can sustain their current run of form. They have picked up an impressive win in the UEFA Champions League away from home to AC Milan as well.
Slot has started his career at Liverpool on a high, and it remains to be seen whether he can guide Liverpool to a trophy this season. The Reds will take on West Ham United in the midweek in the League Cup, and they will be hoping to progress through to the next round of the competition with a win.
