Spare a thought for those who doubted Liverpool’s recruitment team when they acquired Darwin Nunez the summer before last.
The Uruguay international’s two goals propelled the Reds to a commanding 3-0 lead at halftime in Prague.
However, credit must also be given to Alexis Mac Allister for an exceptional first-half performance.
What Do The Stats Say?
Sofascore rates the Argentine sensation at 8.6/10 for his first-half performance in the Europa League, surpassing the 8.1 rating of Nunez.
The ex-Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s offensive efforts, contributing to every positive action in the final third.
He earned a penalty, scored a goal, and provided an assist for his fellow South American player.
All that and more for £35m this summer.
We tell you right now: You won’t find a bigger bargain this season. Period.
What a footballer we’ve got on our hands.
