Premier League: Darwin Núñez Heads Liverpool Past West Ham at Anfield
News 18Darwin Núñez is finally finding his scoring touch in his first season at Liverpool — just in time for the World Cup, too. With his first-half goal in a 1-0 win over West Ham in the Premier League on Wednesday, the Uruguay striker has now netted in three of his last four games for his best scoring run since joining Liverpool from Benfica. Núñez also struck the post with a dipping shot in the first half as Liverpool returned to Anfield and recorded another 1-0 win — three days after beating Manchester City by the same score on a much more intense occasion. West Ham’s best chance for an equalizer came after Liverpool defender Joe Gomez clumsily bundled into the back of Jarrod Bowen, conceding a penalty that was awarded by the referee after a pitchside review. “Nobody comes to Anfield and thinks it is an easy place to get a result — I know that more than anyone," West Ham manager David Moyes said.
