Nunez laughs in Gabriel’s face as an Arsenal defender lashes out at him

Darwin Nunez has enjoyed a great international break with two goals, an assist and he can seemingly add hugely frustrating Gabriel Magalhaes to that list now as well!

The Arsenal defender made it his mission to try and frustrate our No.9 and attempt to keep him quiet, watching the action from the second goal of the match shows how well this went.

Footage from the game shows the Brazilian clearly trying to goad our forward but instead of getting dragged into the petty games, the 24-year-old simply laughed it off.

It’s a great sign of the growing maturity from the former Benfica man and let’s hope that we can continue to reap the rewards of his hard work.

Alexis Mac Allister: Argentine media reacts to Liverpool star’s display v Peru

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was in action for Argentina on Tuesday night.

The Reds ace helped his nation overcome Peru in their 2026 World Cup qualifier in Lima.

Once again he had to be the axis of the midfield and had very good ball circulation,’ they wrote.

‘Very clear at the exit.’

Meanwhile, El Dia was more critical of Mac Allister, giving him a 5 out of 10.

‘One of the lowest points of the team,’ they wrote.

‘Because he could not plant a flag in midfield, where Peru at the time established differences in its favour.’

As for TyC Sports, they gave the Liverpool man a 7 out of 10 rating.

‘Peru wanted to play directly and that forced him to stay put in his position,’ they wrote.

‘However, that did not stop him from repeatedly joining in the attack towards the opposition box.’

As per Sofascore, Mac Allister got 86 touches of the ball and made 80 passes, of which 92 found the target.

The Anfield newcomer also registered one key pass and won one of his five ground duels.

All in all, not the best performance from Mac Allister, but every player will have his off days.

The 24-year-old has been great for Liverpool since joining, and his previous Argentina display was impressive.

For instance, TyC Sports gave Mac Allister a 9 out of 10 for his performance against Paraguay last week.

The most important thing now is that he returns to Liverpool able to play in the next game, which seems to be the case.

The Reds have a huge game coming up, hosting Everton at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
