FT: RB Leipzig 0-5 Liverpool; Watch and download full match highlights, goals, kills and dribble in Friendly Match 2022
Darwin Nunez’s four second half goals propelled Liverpool to a dominant 5-0 preseason win away at Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig.
Mo Salah’s early strike rewarded a positive start for Jurgen Klopp’s side at the Red Bull Arena as they gear up for the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
Despite the hosts showing some signs of life either side of the restart, substitute Nunez ran riot in the second 45, to silence his recent doubters.
A powerful penalty was followed up with two composed finishes inside the box before the former Benfica hitman ruthlessly buried Fabio Carvalho’s pass.

The match was billed as possibly Liverpool’s toughest pre-season test yet, having played Manchester United and Crystal Palace so far, but they resoundingly laid bare how ridiculous those suggestions were by swatting aside a poor looking RB Leipzig side.
