Jurgen Klopp has urged rival supporters to keep targeting Darwin Nunez after Liverpool’s last-gasp victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Liverpool appeared to be on course for a goalless stalemate at the City Ground but Nunez met Alexis Mac Allister’s ball into the box with an excellent header to seal a 1-0 win for Klopp’s side.
The victory has extended Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to four points, although Manchester City can cut that back down to a point if they beat Manchester United in Sunday’s derby at the Etihad Stadium.
Nunez, meanwhile, was the subject of ridicule from Forest fans after he was introduced as a second-half substitute as supporters chanted, ‘you’re just a s*** Andy Carroll’ in the Uruguayan’s direction.
But Klopp has welcomed rival supporters to keep goading Nunez if he responds with a goal.
‘It is a super-important goal which gives you three points, it’s always super decisive, especially for him, super deserved,’ Klopp said.
‘Before, people should start singing that song more often. It’s the best way to calm it immediately down but they can sing it if Darwin responds like he did today.
