by ·

In a dramatic 2-0 victory securing Liverpool’s spot in the FA Cup’s fourth round, fans couldn’t help but notice the comical reactions of Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate towards a hat-less pitch invader.

The game witnessed Liverpool enduring intense pressure from Arsenal, eventually capitalizing on their opponent’s missed opportunities. Jakub Kiwior’s own-goal, from a Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick, turned the tide in Liverpool’s favor.

Amidst the celebration, a pitch invader joined the jubilant Liverpool players, prompting Nunez to playfully pat the invader’s head multiple times, while Alexander-Arnold embraced him. Simultaneously, Konate humorously snatched the fan’s hat and tossed it into the stands.

Fans found the moment hilarious, with one noting, “Absolutely creasing at Konate ripping that fan’s cap off and chucking it away,” and another commenting on Nunez’s playful interaction.

Luis Diaz then sealed the win with a late breakaway goal, capping off Liverpool’s impressive second-half display.

Post-match, Jurgen Klopp acknowledged Arsenal’s potential but expressed satisfaction with Liverpool’s deserved victory. Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta voiced frustration over the outcome, asserting his team’s merit in performance.

Commenting on the match, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher highlighted the significance of the win for Liverpool and praised the return of Luis Diaz’s impactful performances.

Liverpool gears up to face Fulham in the EFL Cup semi-final, while Arsenal, with title aspirations, take a much-needed break before their clash with Crystal Palace on January 20th.
