DARWIN NUNEZ went from trolled to gold in just seconds – with a Liverpool winner that fans reckon only he could score.
Bournemouth supporters taunted the away sub’s terrible first touch – but he cut back inside to swerve a Carabao Cup cracker.
Justin Kluivert ‘s first-ever goal for the Cherries had cancelled out Cody Gakpo’s opener.
But Nunez came on for the final half-hour to show how he can thrill and frustrate by firing what one viewer called “a typical Darwizzy goal lol”.
Another raved: “Only Nunez can produce a touch that bad and then score a worldie.”
Drifting onto a long pass on 70 minutes, the striker fluffed a touch on his left foot, meaning he had to race towards the touchline to retrieve the ball.

Home fans jeered the £85million star’s efforts – but not for long.
Nunez jockeyed inside before accelerating into the left edge of the area and fizzing a right-footer into the far top corner.
One fan posted: “Love the crowd jesting at him when he missed his first touch too. What a belter.”
Another wrote: “How good is this man. Oh my days” and a third could only say: “Lovely wtff.”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp highlighted Nunez’s ability to strike from nothing for an “unbelievable goal”.
Klopp said: “We scored a wonderful second goal and fought really hard.
“We had good moments but it is all about attitude in these moments.
“We could have scored more goals first half and second half we realised it would have been a better idea to score more goals because the wind changed the game.
“Darwin showed his class, it was an unbelievable goal – we had much bigger chances in the game!”
