Darwin Nunez scored twice in stoppage-time as Premier League leaders Liverpool left it late to claim a 2-0 victory at Brentford.

Nunez came off the bench to give Liverpool the lead with a close-range finish before he rounded off a swift counter attack two minutes later to put the seal on a hard-fought victory.

Arne Slot’s side were facing a third game without a win, after draws with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, but the Uruguayan’s late salvo returned the Reds to winning ways.
