Darwin Nunez Opens the Scoring but Struggles to Shine as Liverpool Edge Southampton to Reach Carabao Cup Semis
Darwin Nunez had a moment of redemption, but the jury is still out. The under-fire Liverpool striker quieted taunts of "You're just a sh*t Andy Carroll!" at St Mary's on Wednesday night by scoring the opener in a 2-1 victory over Southampton, securing the Reds a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
However, the Uruguayan's performance was far from polished after his goal. Nunez's struggles in front of goal this season continued, but Liverpool manager Arne Slot will hope the strike, only his fourth of the 2024-25 campaign, boosts the forward's confidence.
Harvey Elliott added a second with a composed finish in his first start of the season, while a rotated Liverpool side held firm against a spirited Southampton comeback. Cameron Archer's stunning curler halved the deficit, but the Reds weathered the late pressure to advance to the next round.
Here's how GOAL rated the Liverpool players as they bounced back from their 2-2 Premier League draw with Fulham last weekend.
