After being brought on by Jurgen Klopp on 77 minutes, the striker scored four minutes later with a clinical right-footed finish.

Nunez then showed superb composure in the third minute of stoppage time to seal a famous win for the Reds.

The substitute's game-changing contribution earns a place in the Team of the Week selected by Alan Shearer, the competition's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee.
