Liverpool fans spot Darwin Nunez’s savage response to a supporter asking for his shirt
Liverpool enthusiasts were quick to notice Darwin Nunez’s bold response to a fan requesting his jersey.
This Sunday saw Liverpool hosting Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield in a thrilling Premier League encounter.
Despite trailing 1-0 initially, the Reds showcased their resilience, securing a crucial victory with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah to overturn Danny Welbeck’s opener.
This triumph propelled Liverpool to the summit of the Premier League standings. Jurgen Klopp’s squad now boasts a two-point lead over Arsenal and a three-point advantage over Manchester City, following their goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium.
In the aftermath of the match, social media buzzed with images of Nunez opting to give his shirt to a ball boy instead of yielding to a supporter’s plea.

One observer remarked, “Darwin Nunez spotted a fan clamoring for his shirt, but he chose to gift it to the ball boy instead. They’re certainly learning.”
Another Twitter user chimed in, expressing support for the decision: “Good move. Let’s put an end to these absurd requests. Enough of the circus.”
A third fan weighed in, emphasizing the significance for the ball boy, stating, “The ball boy could be an academy prospect; receiving that shirt might just spark inspiration for the kid to excel. The spectacle of fans vying for shirts only diminishes the game experience. I recall witnessing people squabble over a player’s shirt a few weeks ago.”
Echoing similar sentiments, another commentator wrote, “If you resort to waving signs for a shirt, perhaps it’s time to reconsider your match attendance.”
Following his pivotal role in Liverpool’s triumph, midfielder Alexis Mac Allister reflected on the match, stating, “Although we didn’t start as planned, it turned out to be an incredible game against an exceptional team. I am well acquainted with them and aware of their capabilities. It was a challenging match, but we emerged victorious, which brings us immense joy.”
He added, “Ideally, we wouldn’t concede so early. However, the resilience displayed by the team when trailing 1-0 is commendable. It’s that very mentality that proves crucial in such situations. Moving forward, our aim is to start matches on the front foot and secure wins from the outset.”
Liverpool is set to resume Premier League action on Thursday, hosting relegation-threatened Sheffield United at Anfield. This will be followed by a highly anticipated clash against arch-rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
