Darwin Nunez is Liverpool’s late, late agent of chaos – whatever his future holds

New York Times  

When the final whistle sounded, Darwin Nunez clenched his fists and looked up to the heavens. Nunez, who replaced Luis Diaz midway through the second half, had only scored two goals in the Premier League since April, but he doubled his league tally for the season with two clinical finishes in stoppage time to break the hosts’ stubborn resistance. No player in Premier League history has scored more 90th-minute winners away from home than he has, Saturday’s memorable cameo sitting alongside similar ones at Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest last season. When Nunez has scored his Liverpool league goals Minute Goals 0-15 2 16-30 4 31-45 5 46-60 3 61-75 2 76-90 3 90+ 5 “He brings energy and power,” Slot told BBC Sport. These two goals will definitely help build my confidence.” Van Dijk has regularly put an arm around Nunez’s shoulder, reassuring him that his time would come.
