Darwin Nunez, a forward for Liverpool, set an unfortunate Premier League record in Wednesday’s 4-1 victory over Chelsea.
After a dominant performance against Mauricio Pochettino’s team, Liverpool now leads the Premier League by five points.
The first goal came in the 23rd minute from Diogo Jota, while the second came from the club’s teenage fullback, Conor Bradley, who scored his debut goal.
Chelsea got one back through Christopher Nkunku shortly after the hour, despite Dominik Szoboszlai adding a third.
After a low cross from Nunez was touched in by Luis Diaz in the 79th minute, all uncertainty about the outcome was eliminated.
Even though the Uruguayan would have been happy with his late assist, he had to lament his bad luck as Liverpool cruised to a resounding victory.
When the 24-year-old missed the post with his first-half penalty, he missed a golden opportunity to extend his season goal tally to eleven.
During Liverpool’s lopsided victory at Anfield, Nunez missed a penalty and Һit the crossbar four times.
The international player from Uruguay became the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in a single game thanks to his unfortunate run of luck.
Despite the forward’s tough evening, Bradley had a great performance, scoring in the 39th minute and adding two assists.
After that, the 20-year-old joined Trent Alexander-Arnold in February 2019 as the youngest Liverpool player to record two assists in a Premier League match.
Jurgen Klopp’s team has gone 23 matches without a loss at home in the Premier League (W18, D5), thanks in large part to Bradley’s stellar performance.
They are riding high going into Sunday’s match against Arsenal, having won their last four Premier League matches.
