The last 5 Liverpool players to score on their PL debut – & how they fared

By coming off the bench to score against Fulham on his Premier League debut, Darwin Nunez wrote himself into the Liverpool history books. 

Jurgen Klopp’s new £85million record signing also got an assist at Craven Cottage, setting up Mo Salah as the Reds came back to draw 2-2 on the opening day of the 2022-23 season.

Nunez’s goal places him alongside some outstanding players to open their accounts in their first game in the famous red kit.

We’ve taken a look at the last five players to score on their Liverpool debut and how they subsequently fared.

Eyebrows were raised when Liverpool spent £34.3million on Salah, who struggled at Chelsea during his first spell in English football.

But the winger was determined to prove that he could be a success in the Premier League and made an immediate impact, scoring in a 3-3 draw with Watford in August 2017.

He went on to score another 30 league goals in 2017-18, breaking the record for most Premier League goals in a 38-game season.

The Egypt international was no one-hit wonder and has shown remarkable consistency in recent years, scoring over 150 goals for Liverpool.

Salah has also picked up an array of silverware, helping the club win the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup.

He recently signed a new contract at Anfield and has shown no signs of slowing down, scoring on the opening day of the Premier League season for the sixth consecutive year.
