Jurgen Klopp makes 'really important' Darwin Nunez point after Liverpool beat Southampton
Jurgen Klopp praised the effective movement displayed by Darwin Nunez during Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Southampton on Saturday afternoon but recognised this was far from being a perfect collective display.

But a string of fine performances capped off by seven goals in his last 10 appearances if proof he is now finding his feet.
