Liverpool suffers 90 minutes… and the “substitute” decides it in two “fatal” minutes

Uruguayan reserve striker Darwin Nunes scored two goals in stoppage time to give Liverpool a valuable victory over its host Brentford 2-0 today, Saturday, in the twenty-second stage of the English Football League.
Nunes, who participated in the middle of the second half, scored his two goals in the 90+1 and 90+3 minutes, contributing to the move away from his team, which raised its score to 50 points, 7 points ahead of runner-up Arsenal, which will later meet its guest, Aston Villa.
Liverpool was on its way to dropping points for the third match in a row after drawing with Manchester United 2-2 at home and then with Nottingham Forest 1-1 outside its rules in the last two rounds, but Nunes pulled it out of the bottleneck.
Liverpool was the better side for most of the match, while Brentford relied on quick counterattacks by its strikers, Cameroonian Brian Mbwemo and Congolese Yoan Wessa.
After Brentford’s Danish midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard missed an easy opportunity when he lost his balance with the goal open in front of him (5), Colombian winger Luis Dias responded with a weak back header (11).
The Dutchman, Rein Kravenberg, fired a powerful shot outside the three woods (18), and another powerful shot by his Hungarian colleague, Dominik Soboszlai, touched the crossbar (25).
Dutchman Cody Khakpo was alone with Brentford’s goalkeeper, but he shot near the post (39).
Liverpool continued its advantage in the second half, and Argentine Alexis McAllister fired a ball from close range into the outside net (70).
Alisson blocked Mbwemo’s ball in two attempts (73).
Salah shot a ball with his left hand from the outskirts of the area, which passed next to the post (89).
Then relief came for Liverpool when Brentford failed to clear one of the balls inside the area, so Trent Alexander-Arnold passed it towards Nunes lurking in front of the goal, so he followed it into the net (90+1). Nunes quickly knocked out the hosts with a knockout two minutes later with an individual effort, decisively deciding the result in the match. Good for his team.
Leicester City suffered its seventh loss in a row, falling at home to Fulham, with goals from Emile Smith Rowe (48) and Spaniard Adama Traore (68).
West Ham fell by the same result to its neighbor and guest Crystal Palace, scored by Frenchman Jean-Philippe Mateta (48 and 89 from a penalty kick).

Bournemouth shocks Newcastle

Bournemouth prevented its host, Newcastle, from achieving its seventh successive victory in the local league, defeating them 4-1 at home.
Bournemouth owes its great victory to the Dutchman Justin Kluivert, the son of former Newcastle striker Patrick Kluivert, who scored a hat-trick that led coach Andoni Iraola’s team to improve its historic positive streak, which expanded to 10 matches without a loss in the league, including six wins and four draws.
“Why don’t we dream big and see where we can finish the season?” Kluivert said.
He added, “We are experiencing a wonderful series, and this is what we showed in today’s match. We wanted to leave an impact, and this is what happened.”
Bournemouth raised its score to 37 points in sixth place, while Newcastle’s score froze at 38 points in fourth place.
The advantage was clear at the beginning of the match for the visitors, and Simenho penetrated from the left side and prepared the ball on a golden platter for Kluivert, who did not hesitate to convert it with his left hand from inside the penalty area to Dubravka’s left, opening the scoring (6).
Guimarães returned the match to the starting point with a header that Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga failed to do after a corner kick executed by Lewis Hull from the right side (25).
Kluivert gave Bournemouth the lead again with a creeping low shot from close range to Dubravka’s right, taking advantage of Ouattara’s decisive pass (44), leaving his mark for the second match in a row after his goal against Chelsea in the last stage.
Arrizabalaga blocked a powerful shot by Italian Sandro Tonali from inside the penalty area (45+7).
After returning to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), the referee canceled a third goal for the visitors, signed by Ouattara, who followed up on a perfect cross from Brooks, considering that the ball had crossed the goal line before that during the attack (61).
Dubravka kept his team’s hopes alive by brilliantly blocking a ball that Brooks followed from close range following a cross from Simenho (70), but Kluivert finished things off with a powerful, wonderful shot from the outskirts of the penalty area that landed to the right of the Slovakian goalkeeper (90+2), raising his scoring tally to 10 goals in the match. league this season, before Kerkez added the fourth goal with a powerful shot from close range (90+6).
