Has Darwin Saved His Career at Liverpool?

Shots on goal

They had around 36 shots, six on target, in what was shaping up to be a fruitless outing in West London.

Forgettable contributions from the bench

Even Darwin's early contributions from the bench were forgettable, and a reminder of why he was soon to be condemned to the Saudi Pro League.

Alexander-Arnold's frustration

One particularly poor effort had Trent Alexander-Arnold literally going crazy.

The twist of fate

But then, in an instant, it seemed like EVERYTHING had changed.

The decisive goal

From an Alexander-Arnold cutback in injury time, Darwin found the crucial goal that would put Liverpool seven points clear in the title race.

The goal celebration

What a moment to get it. He took off his shirt afterward, starting another countdown to a suspension, but today, who cares?

Brentford's reaction

Brentford went searching for the equalizer, leaving them perfectly exposed to the counter.

Darwin's second goal

And fortunately, it was that man again. He scored the second goal, which seemed like a great response for all those who had written him off.

The gesture of confidence

He pointed to his name on his Liverpool shirt after his first goal. This is who I am, this is what I do.

A crossroads in Darwin's career

It seems like Darwin had reached a crossroads in his Liverpool career.

Ready for takeoff?

Now, he might be ready for takeoff and to lead the Reds to the title.
