Everton 0-0 Liverpool: Darwin Nunez's cheeky gesture to Conor Coady after goal ruled out

Darwin Nunez is fast building a reputation for himself in the Premier League.

The Uruguayan, who Liverpool signed for an initial fee of £67 million this summer before potential performance related add-ons are included, was sent off in his Premier League home debut for headbutting Joachim Andersen.

The reckless act and the ensuing red card left him suspended for the Reds’ following three matches.

Which is a real shame because based off of his performances against Manchester City and Fulham – the two games prior to the Crystal Palace match – he has all the potential to become a diamond in Liverpool’s front-line.

Sure, he’s a bit rough around the edges, but still just 23-years-old he can evolve under Jurgen Klopp’s coaching and Kopites are understandly excited about Nunez.

Unfortunately, though, his return to action against Everton on Saturday didn’t go exactly to plan.

The team underperformed and created very little clear cut chances, so despite Nunez showing flashes of promise throughout the 90 minutes, it wasn’t the dream return he no doubt craved.

In truth, things could have been even worse had Conor Coady’s 70th minute goal not been ruled out for a marginal offside.

Coady, the former Liverpool academy man, sprinted away wildly after he believed he’d scored, celebrating like he’d just clinched the World Cup in the dying embers.

However, when the goal was ruled out after a lengthy VAR check, Nunez got his own back on the Englishman.

The Liverpool forward walked up behind Coady, got his attention and then seemingly mocked him whilst laughing at the series of events that had unfolded.
