Liverpool blew away Czech giants Sparta Prague in a thrilling Europa League round-16 first leg in the Czech Republic, LCSoccerHub reports.
Darwin Nunez was the poster boy for the Merseyside club, banging two goals to help the Premier League title hopefuls ease to a 5-1 victory over the home side.
Mac Allister has been phenomenal for the Red Devils. The Argentine’s intervention was critical in Liverpool’s late victory over Nottingham Forest in their last game after he forcefully intercepted Nottingham Forest’s counter attempt, won the ball, and lifted a cool pass to Darwin Nunez to head home the winner.
In the Czech capital, the World Cup winner was again on his best as he won and converted a spot kick that saw Liverpool race into the lead just five minutes into the game.
After Mac Allister’s opener, Liverpool continued on their dominant trail and were looking set to cruise to victory.
Before the break, Darwin Nunez came up clutch for the Reds, scoring two beautiful goals to put the Premier League side three goals up.
In the second half, Liverpool continued on their rout as they pressed to kill the game before the reverse fixture in England.
Luis Diaz was on target for the Reds’ fourth goal before Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stoppage-time strike to condemn the home side to a humiliating 5-1 defeat.
The victory has seen Liverpool close up on the Europa League last 8 as they continue to push for a quadruple this season.
The win will be a morale-booster to the Premier League leaders who are days away from tackling Premier League and European champions Manchester City in a potential title-decider on Sunday.
After clinching the FA Cup trophy, Jurgen Klopp’s wild dreams of bidding farewell to Liverpool with a historic quadruple is still intact.
