By Debkalpa Banerjee Modified 14 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Steve McManaman was critical of Darwin Nunez's decision-making. Former Liverpool forward Steve McManaman has slammed new signing Darwin Nunez for committing a needless foul in the Reds' 2-1 home win against Ajax in the UEFA Champions League on September 13. Liverpool registered their first continental win of the 2022-23 season in their second Group A match on Tuesday. After Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 17th minute, Mohammed Kudus equalized 10 minutes later. Joel Matip scored the decisive goal in the 89th minute of the contest, heading home from a Kostas Tsimikas corner. Nunez, who joined Liverpool from Benfica in a deal worth up to £85 million in June, also featured as a second-half substitute. The 23-year-old failed to convert a great chance minutes before the winner and also fouled Jurrien Timber with unnecessary pressure on the defender.
