Liverpool fans hail Darwin Nunez for shouting 'f*** you' from dugout in dramatic win over Newcastle

Liverpool fans have gleefully praised Darwin Nunez for his X-rated yell to the Newcastle bench after their late winner.

The Reds came back from behind to beat the Magpies 2-1 at Anfield on Wednesday evening thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino and then a 98th-minute winner from Fabio Carvalho, as chaotic scenes erupted on the touchline.

With both benches clashing in ugly scenes, summer signing Nunez - who was serving the final game of a three-match ban for a headbutt - was filmed standing on his seat, pumping his fist and shouting 'f*** you!' towards the Newcastle dugout.

The FA are investigating after a Toon coach launched a water bottle at their opponents and defender Fabian Schar had to be restrained amid Liverpool staff goading their counterparts.

Reds defender Joel Matip and assistant manager Pep Lijnders were also involved, with another person - seemingly head of fitness and coaching Andreas Kornmayer - making gestures.

Newcastle coaches Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones reacted angrily, with Schar held back as he aimed to get to Lijnders, who told the Swiss to sit down.

Neither club has commented on the issue but managers Jurgen Klopp and Eddie Howe shook hands, hugged at full time and were calm when discussing the goal and game in their post-match press conferences.

And now Reds supporters are taking to social media to hail Nunez' foul-mouthed display from the dug-out.

One said: 'Darwin loves it', followed by three cry-laughing emojis, while another added: 'Darwin picking up the English language pretty quick.'

A third tweeted: 'We need this guy's craziness but in a controlled way.'

A different fan posted: 'Honestly have we signed Diego Costa hahahahaha', with one simply saying: 'Lmao I love his passion. This guy is going to be great for us, I can tell.'

And a sixth continued: 'That definitely wasn't the last red card', followed by three crying emojis, referencing his ban for headbutting Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen.
