This is how the Premier League titles are won! And who else performs magic than Liverpool…After months and months of struggle, Darwin Nunez – who netted just two goals across all competitions ahead of today’s game (check out our preview) – managed to transform himself into a late hero and singlehandedly take the Reds to a critical 2-0 away win at Brentford!Liverpool were minutes away from the third consecutive EPL draw, which would widely open the door for Arsenal and their title hopes. Alas, the Uruguayan striker suddenly resurrected and, with two stoppage-time goals, killed the stubborn Bees.91′ | Brentford 0-0 Liverpool92′ | Brentford 0-1 Liverpool93′ | Brentford 0-2 Liverpool⚽⚽ Darwin Nunez breaks the hearts of all Arsenal fans with a quick-fire stoppage time brace. pic.twitter.com/P3z3BqezqI— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) January 18, 2025 Just a few seconds before Darwin’s opener, things seemed worrying for Arne Slot, as Thomas Frank’s side were on the verge of a goalless draw despite conceding 36 shots at Gtech Stadium. Mohamed Salah, Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz were unable to break the deadlock for the entire 90 minutes, and not even Slot’s late sub Federico Chiesa could change things upon coming on.The Bees did have their own chances, though, as Mbeumo, Wissa and Damsgaard collected more than a few decent goal-scoring opportunities in this exciting match.We witnessed a truly splendid football game, which lacked just one single thing – goals. At least until the added time…And then, against all odds, Nunez stepped up like a veteran poacher to score twice and push his lot to a highly-important victory.⚽️ GOAL: Darwin Nunez🏴 Brentford 0-1 Liverpoolpic.twitter.com/j6l4k0pUax— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) January 18, 2025 ⚽️ GOAL: Darwin Nunez with brace🏴 Brentford 0-2 Liverpoolpic.twitter.com/COJryH5Rc7— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) January 18, 2025 ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 22SaturdayNewcastle – Bournemouth 1-4 (1-2)/Guimaraes 25 – Kluivert 6, 44, 90+2, Kerkez 90+6/Brentford – Liverpool 0-2 (0-0)/Darwin 90+1, 90+3/Leicester – Fulham 0-2 (0-0)/Smith Rowe 48, Traore 68/West Ham – Crystal Palace 0-2 (0-0)/Mateta 48, 89 pen/20.30: (1.53) Arsenal (4.30) Aston Villa (7.00)Sunday17.00: (2.80) Everton (3.50) Tottenham (2.45)17.00: (2.10) Man.Utd.
