Darwin Nunez has been supported by several of his former Liverpool teammates after scoring his first Saudi Pro League goal for Al-Hilal on Saturday.

The 26-year-old left the Reds in August after spending three years at Anfield.

During his time on Merseyside, Nunez became a cult figure, scoring some important goals and helping Liverpool win the Premier League title for the second time in five years.



However, it didn't take long for the former Benfica man to break his competitive duck, as he fired home in a 2-2 draw against Al-Qadsiah at the weekend.

Nunez slotted home from inside the box after Malcom had pulled the ball across the face of goal.

It was a composed finish from the ex-Liverpool forward, who appears to be enjoying life in the Middle East.

Following his first Al-Hilal goal, Nunez took to Instagram to send a message to his new team's fans.

Meanwhile, Liverpool hero Luis Suarez, who played with Nunez for Uruguay, was among the others to drop a like.
