GettyInter Miami superstar Luis Suarez sends 'best in the world' message to Darwin Nunez after Liverpool striker scores last-gasp Nottingham Forest winner
GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The Reds striker scored a 99th-minute winner against Forest on Saturday to earn a vital three points and maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League. And after the victory, fellow Uruguayan Suarez, who played at Anfield between 2011 and 2014, sung the praises of Nunez.
GettyWHAT LUIS SUAREZ SAID
Following his brace for Inter Miami in their 5-0 win over Orlando City on Saturday, Suarez said: "Yes I saw [the goal]. I am so happy for Liverpool and I am so happy for Darwin. He is one of the best strikers in the world today."
Getty ImagesTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Nunez has been criticised for his performances and profligacy in front of goal during his time at Liverpool but he has still scored 14 times this season and bagged 11 assists. He has proven to be an important player in the Reds' bid to win an historic quadruple.
