Darwin Núñez strike sinks Leipzig to maintain Liverpool’s perfect start
It is too early to pass judgement on Liverpool’s credentials or the new Champions League format according to Arne Slot. It is not too early to pass judgement on Slot’s start to life with Liverpool. Remarkable, with the new head coach racking up yet another victory on a difficult night in Leipzig.
For the first time in their rich history Liverpool have won 11 of the opening 12 games in a season and their first six away matches from the start of a campaign. Their latest came courtesy of a Darwin Núñez tap-in against the club that will soon be looked over by Jürgen Klopp, Red Bull’s incoming head of global soccer, and a few escapes against a Leipzig team without a point in the Champions League. Liverpool, with three wins from three in the competition, are almost through. Probably.
