Nunez and Kelleher show up’ in Leipzig as Liverpool go on record-breaking run
-
LEIPZIG - Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his stand-in players as two of them - Darwin Nunez and Caoimhin Kelleher - helped maintain the club's scintillating start to the season with a 1-0 victory away to RB Leipzig on Oct 23.
The win was the Reds' third out of three in the Champions League and meant that they have won their first six games away from home to start the season, a new club record.
Dutchman Slot has won ]1 of his 12 games since replacing Iurgen Klopp at Anfield, also a club record.
He appears to have the Midas touch at the moment and even when he is forced to field second-choice players, he comes up trumps, as was the case in Leipzig.
Nunez has been used largely as a substitute this season, but an injury to Diogo Iota meant the Uruguayan striker was handed a start and he took full advantage.
He scored the winner, had a nailed-on penalty turned down and forced a great save from Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi in a performance full of energy and endeavour.
