Darwin Nunez
Darwin Nunez proved a handful all night against Leicester but could not get the goal his performance deserved

It's possible that Darwin Nunez looked at Wout Faes' finish during the game.

As far as the Foxes defender was concerned, Faes' two goals were in the wrong net, giving the Reds a win that puts them within touching distance of the top four.

While Faes scored with ease, the wastefulness in front of goal continued as he missed a number of chances to give the game away.

He sliced wide from close range in the second half and then hit the bar when in a good position.

They lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on December 22nd and then beat Villa in the Boxing Day game.

Jamie Carragher, who was commentary on the game for Sky Sports, said that the player could have had a hat-trick.

We said that against the city. We made that statement against Villa.

He needs to get the goals in order to become a world-class goal scorer.

It will be hard for Nunez to read the statistics.

In Europe's top 10 leagues with 500 or more minutes played this season, Nunez is first for shots per 90 minutes, but 99th for goals per 90 minutes.

Darwin Nunez's Premier League statistics

He has missed more big chances in the league than any other player and has only scored five goals this season.

The struggle to score is not a result of not trying.

Nunez has hit the woodwork more times than any other player in the league so far this season, and it was his chip shot that hit the post againstLeicester that led to the second own goal of the game.

After Friday's win, he was glowing in his praise of the forward, who had struggled in front of goal prior to this match, and had become one of the most prolific forwards in the world.

It was a great performance by the team, according to the coach.

The goal, which was an own goal in the end, was a clear improvement on recent situations.

The other moments were also great. He took out three players and then passed to a new player. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Gary Neville, who played for Manchester United, believes that the goals will come for Nunez within a couple of years and that he will more than justify the initial £64m paid to get him.

On Sky Sports, Gary said that he was a handful. He is a world class goal scorer.

He could be a world-class forward in a couple of years.

He will get bigger and stronger in this league the more he plays, and I think it will happen for him in front of the goal.
