Darwin Nunez scored a wondergoal Erling Haaland could only dream of last night – at least according to Liverpool fans, that is.<\/p>\n

The \u00a375million Uruguayan netted the winner against Bournemouth to book Liverpool's passage to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, and he did so in style. Despite mis-controlling a lofted through pass, Nunez gathered the ball near the byline, ran at Cherries defender Chris Mepham, jinked passed him and viciously curled the ball into the far corner.<\/p>\n

It was a bona fide stunner, and one that Reds supporters reckon Ballon d'Or runner-up Haaland wouldn't be able to score. One person wrote on X: "I\u2019d love to see Haaland try this. Darwin Nunez is dat guy."<\/p>\n

"I ain't ever seen Haaland do what Nunez did there that's all I'm saying," said another. A third fan added: "Darwin Nunez with the goal of the season! Erling Haaland come outside right now," while a fourth commented: "Just closed my eyes and imagined Erling Haaland trying to score a goal like that Nunez one."<\/p>\n

A fifth added: "He's quite literally the only No. 9 in world football that moves me and I am so invested in seeing him turn into the world class beast I know he will, whilst Haaland will be the face of strikers of his generation but when Nunez starts cooking he will have the streets."<\/p>\n

Could Erling Haaland have scored that goal? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nunez joined Liverpool just a few weeks after Haaland arrived at Manchester City in 2022. Since then he's scored roughly a third of the number of goals his Norwegian counterpart has managed for club and country. That said, Liverpool fans may have a point about his goal last night given that just one of Haaland's 65 goals for City has been scored from outside the box (yes, OK, Nunez scored from just <\/i>inside the box, but the point still stands *sticks tongue out*).<\/p>\n
