Darwin Nunez issues four-word verdict after Liverpool go top in title race as Man City and Arsenal draw

Darwin Nunez has issued a message to Liverpool fans after helping the club climb to the top of the Premier League table.

The Reds claimed a 2-1 win over Brighton on Sunday thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. Liverpool were facing the Seagulls in their first match after the international break, ahead of what is expected to be an intense run-in during the title race.

Elsewhere, Manchester City were held to a goalless draw with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. The points being shared between Man City and the Gunners was good news for Liverpool in the race for the title.

Jurgen Klopp's side are now two points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table with nine fixtures left to play. Man City are three points behind the Reds in third, with neither of the title rivals now set to face each other this season.

Nunez was not on the score sheet for Liverpool against Brighton but did put in an impressive performance. Hours after the full-time whistle, and shortly after Man City and Arsenal's stalemate, the Reds striker posted a message on social media.

"Good win at home," wrote Nunez on X, formerly known as Twitter. The post was also accompanied by several photos of Nunez during the game, as well as a heart emoji.

Nunez has scored 17 goals with 14 assists in all competitions for Liverpool this season. The Uruguayan will be hoping to add to his tally when the Reds return to Premier League action in midweek.
