When Kostas Tsimikas crossed from the left and Mohamed Salah headed the ball back to the near post. Which appeared to be on target, but Darwin Nunez lunged forward and used his leg to poke the ball into the net.
Fans on social media have concluded that Nunez stole Salah’s goal, and the Uruguayan forward felt the same way. During the celebration, he told Virgil van Dijk, who was celebrating, by pointing at Salah and saying: “No, it’s Mo’s.”
Asked about the goal, Slot said: “I’m always happy when we score and I don’t care who scored it so much. It’s always good to see all the players score and I think before the goal, Gakpo and Mo were just as important as Darwin.”
“What I like about Darwin is that he is strong, comfortable on the ball, he can keep the ball, he fights when he has to defend, so he makes things more difficult for Leipzig’s centre-back pair. For him, I think it’s always good for a striker to score goals.”
Darwin Nuñez is so humble. When Van Djik congratulates him, he goes: “No its Mo”
