Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, narrowing the gap with league leaders Arsenal to just 2 points. Virgil van Dijk opened the scoring in the 37th minute with a goal from a corner kιck by Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Reds sealed the win in stoppage time when Dominik Szoboszlai found the net after a beautiful assist from Nunez.

The Uruguayan player, who came on as a substitute in the second half, executed a sublime pass to the Hungarian midfielder after a precise ball recovery. However, before showcasing such quality plays, Nunez was the one who… lost possession. This moment epitomized Nunez’s time at Liverpool: highly inconsistent.

Nunez’s challenge on Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United was checked by VAR, but he was not deemed to have committed any foul, and Szoboszlai’s goal was rightfully awarded.

In the match against Sheffield, Nunez played for 27 minutes, contributing 1 assist, 1 shot on target, creating 1 clear-cut chance, making 11 touches, completing 75% of his passes, missing 1 clear opportunity, losing possession 4 times, and being caught offside once.

Overall, in the 2023/24 season, Nunez has scored 7 goals and provided 7 assists in 21 appearances across all competitions. However, he has still had some unfortunate moments of missed opportunities.
