Arne Slot reveals what he told Darwin Nunez ahead of Liverpool's Champions League win over RB Leipzig

Nunez opened his Champions League account for the season as he was on target against RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday. The Uruguayan has struggled to shine this season, however, Slot has now revealed Nunez did everything he asked of the striker when facing the Bundesliga side and revealed his pleasure with the 25-year-old.

Speaking to the media, Slot said: "I asked for a goal. He gave us one but in the lead-up to the goal, Gakpo was important and Mo with an assist. It was a team goal. It's pleasing to see that Darwin did a really good job today."

Nunez has only made three appearances in the Premier League this season for Liverpool and managed just one goal. The 25-year-old is below the likes of Cody Gakpo, Luiz Diaz, and Diogo Jota in the pecking order but will hope his strike against Leipzig can help him return to his best form.

Liverpool now turn their attentions to a crunch game against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, October 27, although it is unlikely that Nunez will start the important clash.
