The Uruguay star joined Liverpool from Benfica in the summer for a fee that could rise to £85million with add-ons. He has received some criticism from rival supporters during his early performances in pre-season.

But Nunez proved some of his doubters wrong with his performance on Sunday. He replaced Roberto Firmino with half an hour of the match remaining.

The 23-year-old was a constant threat for Pep Guardiola’s defence and went close on a couple of occasions. But after City equalised through one of their new signings Julian Alvarez, Nunez struck from close range in stoppage time to win it for the Merseysiders.

He said: “I liked the game a lot, but most of the time City games against us are cool to watch. We don’t always win but they are entertaining.

“I was happy with our start of the game, but every sub made a difference. The boys are ready and it is good.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the first goal for Liverpool and he was also impressed with what he saw from his new team-mate Nunez. The England star commented: “He won the penalty, scored a goal and looked very lively.
