Across the past three seasons, Liverpool's attack has developed substantially and the squad now has a duo that has matched one of Liverpool's greatest-ever partnerships.

In Liverpool's recent 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield, two of Liverpool's attackers matched a record going back to the days of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

After Mohamed Salah assisted Darwin Nunez's screamer on Saturday, the pair have now combined for 13 goals for Liverpool.

This levels the number that Suarez and Sturridge managed to combine for, in an electric double-striker partnership throughout Brendan Rogers' tenure at the club.

In that duo, it was Sturridge who assisted most of the goals, with Suarez being slipped in to finish off the chance.

However, it may surprise you to know that in the Salah-Nunez partnership, it is Nunez who has the most assists - despite being considerably the weaker passer.

A breakdown of the record-levelling partnership

Beginning in Nunez's debut at Fulham in August 2022, the Uruguayan assisted Salah to earn his first goal contribution in the Premier League.

For the duo's next three goals, it was Nunez who continued to be the supplier, before Salah turned provider for Nunez's iconic goals against Real Madrid and Newcastle.

From then onwards, it was Nunez who was the primary provider, having now created 10 of the partnership's 13 goals.

Liverpool's attack has increasingly become more and more fluid, with Nunez often playing as a No9 or a winger on the left-hand side.

Arne Slot will most likely continue to rotate the forwards, but with just one more combination needed to surpass the legendary duo of Suarez and Sturridge, it'll be one to keep an eye on.
