Football fans have called Darwin Nunez the “funniest” footballer on earth after his odd altercation with Gabriel Magalhaes during Liverpool’s match against Arsenal. After coming on as a replacement in the 58th minute, Nunez blasted over the crossbar. Gabriel probably taunted him after the miss.

However, Nunez grabbed the defender’s head before jokingly hugging.

Fans commented on social media, with one writing: “Darwin Nunez…what is that shot and then shares a moment with Gabriel…the funniest footballer on earth.”

Another fan commented: Nunez and Gabriel’s head grab is hilarious .” A third fan commented: Nunez and Gabriel laughing at the shot .”

The Arsenal fan joked: “Nunez and Gabriel celebrated after misfiring. He was ours.”

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead in the 14th minute, but Luis Diaz equalised before halftime after a defensive mistake.

A blunder by Virgil van Dijk and Alisson allowed Gabriel Martinelli to put Arsenal ahead again.

Leandro Trossard secured the win with a close-range strоke.

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager, said: “It was an amazing game and performance from our players and people.

The stadium atmosphere is the best I’ve seen this season. We demanded that we go to a different level and connect it again to the demands this league has in every game, and they responded in an unbelievable way. I think the players left everything.

“I know how hard it is to beаt this team, therefore I am extremely proud of their dedication to every ball.
