Liverpool vs Fulham in pictures
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been called out for "looking for a foul" on several occasions during the Reds' frantic 4-3 win over Fulham on Sunday. The Uruguayan did not score or get an assist despite his side bagging four times. Instead he was criticised for diving at Anfield by one of the club's former players.
Ex-Reds defender Stephen Warnock felt that Nunez was too quick to go to ground in an attempt to win a free-kick, insisting that such behaviour has no place in Jurgen Klopp's side.
He called the referee to take action and show Nunez a yellow card, but the striker remained unpunished and played a crucial role in Liverpool's third and equalising goal.
“There has been a few times now that Nunez has thrown himself to the ground looking for a foul," Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Book him. We need to eliminate that from the game.”

Nunez has made the centre-forward spot his own this season, fighting off competition from Cody Gakpo and the now-injured Diogo Jota, but Warnock has made it clear that such actions have no place in the game in his eyes.
Despite picking up the three points in dramatic fashion it was a frustrating day for Nunez personally, having hit the bar and he will feel that he should have been among the goals against a leaky Fulham defence.

Klopp did not speak about Nunez's actions after the match, instead he was thrilled with his side's comeback after two goals in the final few minutes of the game. "Feeling after the game is exceptional," the German boss explained.
"During the game, slightly different in moments We changed system a couple of times and we worked out. That's not always the case. Outstanding experience. I don't think anyone before the game thought it would be a game you'd never forget. You're welcome.
"I never saw a game with so many worldies. Macca's (Alexis Mac Allister) been doing it in training. Trent's (Alexander-Arnold) free-kick was unbelievable. Wataru was so important. He was really good. Then Trent makes it a brace. I didn't actually see it go in."
