Jurgen Klopp says it will only be a matter of time before Darwin Nunez gets his first Liverpool goal at Anfield after the striker failed to find the net against Rangers.
Liverpool ran out comfortable 2-0 victors against Giovanni van Bronckhorst s side in the Champions League, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah on target.
Allan McGregor was forced into eight saves to keep the scoreline down, while Nunez had more shots than any Liverpool player in the match – finding the target with four of his attempts.
The former Benfica striker s six efforts were the most a Liverpool player has had without scoring in a Champions League group stage game since Sadio Mane against Salzburg in December 2019 (also six).
Despite just the sole strike to Nunez s name in the Reds first Premier League game of the season at Fulham, Klopp insists the 23-year-old will soon get off the mark at home.
Liverpool 2-0 Rangers
A comfortable evening for Liverpool and a redemptive one for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Rangers fears that this group could be difficult are proving justified

I think you can see that. The way the boys moved together up front today was extremely good for just one [training] session, Klopp said of his attackers responding to a change in shape against Rangers.
We only had one session, low intensity because we only played recently, so it showed how good a striker he is, getting into these situations. Everybody saw tonight, this will happen.
Liverpool trail Group A leaders Napoli, who hammered Ajax 6-1 on Tuesday, by three points ahead of a return trip to Rangers next week after visiting Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
