(Video) Fresh footage reveals what Darwin Nunez told the Kop after Pickford challenge

Darwin Nunez might not be the most elegant striker to ever wear a Liverpool shirt, but his passion for the club is undeniable.

Despite scoring only seven goals this season, the 25-year-old came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Wednesday’s Merseyside derby win — still enough time to get caught in a clash with Jordan Pickford. The incident came when Nunez chased a loose ball, unaware the referee had already blown his whistle, and was met by a high, reckless kick from the Everton goalkeeper.

While Nunez received brief treatment and was controversially booked for time-wasting after rolling back onto the pitch, Pickford escaped punishment for his challenge. As the Uruguayan striker got to his feet and made his way towards the corner flag with a medical staff member, he turned to the Kop, waved his arms passionately, and shouted “Come on!” three times, urging the crowd to rally behind the team in the final moments.

This emotional outburst was captured in the latest Inside Anfield video on Liverpool’s official YouTube channel. It served as yet another reminder of how much Nunez cares — regardless of any criticisms about his finishing or discipline.

Moments like his wild celebration after last season’s last-minute winner at Nottingham Forest show just how emotionally invested he is. And no doubt, he felt fired up after Pickford’s aggressive challenge and the questionable yellow card he received in return.

In the end, Nunez and his teammates had the last laugh, celebrating a huge win that restored their 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League — a momentum they’ll look to carry into Sunday’s clash with Fulham.
