Darwin Nunez left Jamie Carragher CONFUSED with one moment vs West Ham
Liverpool kickstarted their Carabao Cup defence with an encouraging 5-1 win over West Ham United on Wednesday.
Braces from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota, with Mohamed Salah netting the other has set up a fourth-round tie away at Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Reds have won every game this season barring their disappointing home defeat to Nottingham Forest, in what has been an encouraging start to life under Arne Slot.

It’s the second year running where Liverpool have defeated The Hammers 5-1 in the competition as Slot’s men have their eyes on winning the Carabao Cup for an eleventh time.
Liverpool went behind on Wednesday night courtesy of an unfortunate own goal from Jarell Quansah.
Diogo Jota latched on to Federico Chiesa’s bicycle kick attempt minutes later to give the hosts the perfect response before eventually running riot after the interval, with Edson Alvarez also being dismissed for Julian Lopetegui’s side.
Carragher believes Darwin Nunez should be fined for needless foul
Despite an encouraging night at Anfield, Jamie Carragher believes Darwin Nunez should be held accountable for a needless action he made.
The Uruguayan hacked into former Liverpool player Danny Ings despite the West Ham man posing no threat to The Reds as he was seemingly heading nowhere with the ball.
Carragher, who was on commentary duty for Sky Sports, expressed his fury at Nunez’ decision that fortunately came to no avail but should West Ham have scored, questions would have been asked of Nunez.
“Yeah, I mean we’ve already seen one at the other end but Nunez there….honestly. It’s the one thing in football I’ll never be able to get my head around when I see someone just run straight into the back of someone, going absolutely nowhere.
“I think there should be a fine for that, honestly I do. If I was a manager I would fine players for that,” Carragher said.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
