Liverpool: Darwin Nunez's funny goal celebration vs Arsenal (GiveMeSport)

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez had fans talking with his goal celebration after scoring the equaliser against Arsenal on Sunday.

It’s been a long time since Arsenal went into this fixture as favourites but Mikel Arteta has brought back the feel-good factor to the Emirates Stadium this season. 😂— Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) How the HELL is this not a handball?

Liverpool can unlock Darwin Núñez from within using perfect partner ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool already have the ideal partner for Darwin Núñez in Jürgen Klopp's new-look 4-4-2. A pairing of near-total opposites could 'unlock' both players.

The Brazilian doesn't appear to have long left at Anfield, but before he departs, he could play a significant role in unlocking the true potential of his heir. [Darwin Núñez](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/darwin-nunez) was purchased by Liverpool over the course of the summer, with a potential £85m dedicated to securing his signature. [Mohamed Salah](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/mohamed-salah) and Sadio Mané benefiting from his subtle movements around the penalty box. As the focal point of Jürgen Klopp's 4-3-3, he's acted as a lone number nine for the most part, albeit one who likes to drift into midfield. [Firmino](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/roberto-firmino) has the skills to best complement Núñez, with the pair toying with the prospect of forming a partnership in the mould of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp, or Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. [Klopp](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/jurgen-klopp) could result in the two players prospering as a duo.

Darwin Nunez's FIFA 23 appearance leaves Liverpool striker ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Darwin Nunez's FIFA face has received some criticism with the Liverpool forward in the game as a Liverpool player as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van ...

Nunez subsequently was named as a substitute against Napoli, Ajax and [Brighton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/brighton-and-hove-albion-fc). [Champions League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/champions-league) clash with Rangers and he impressed as they won 2-0. "I think he said himself he feels the pressure, needs to calm himself down," Klopp told a press conference on Friday. However, Nunez was shown a straight red card on his first start for the club in a 1-1 draw with Palace, after the forward headbutted Joachim Anderson. Naturally, his move to the Reds meant Nunez would be a Liverpool player in the new FIFA alongside fellow signings Fabio Carvalho, Arthur and Calvin Ramsay. Van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and even Harvey Elliot all look incredibly accurate, but Nunez hasn't had the greatest luck with FIFA's picture.

WATCH: Nunez ends six-game Liverpool goal drought stretching ... (Goal.com)

Darwin Nunez brought his personal six-game goal drought for Liverpool to a close when turning the ball home from close range against Arsenal.

Nunez does, however, have his second Premier League goal of the season – and his first since an opening day showdown with Fulham – after getting his toe to a low cross from Luis Diaz at Emirates Stadium. The Uruguayan striker arrived at Anfield over the summer amid much fanfare, but has been overshadowed by the exploits of fellow big-money frontman Erling Haaland at Manchester City. Liverpool have found themselves playing catch-up on a regular basis of late, with Jurgen Klopp’s side falling behind again at Arsenal, but they will be pleased to see Nunez and Co delivering at the other end of the field.
