JOE BERNSTEIN: Darwin Nunez has fast become a cult hero at Anfield... if he begins to replicate the success of Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish, imagine how he'd be treated in the eyes of Liverpool fans

Liverpool fans love a hero. From Kenny Dalglish to Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez, those they truly adore will never walk alone.

Darwin Nunez is the Kop's latest cult figure. The difference is he's still being feted as a striker on a run of one goal in 16 matches.

At most clubs, that would get you run out of town. At Anfield, the love and encouragement towards him is palpable.

The chants of 'Noo-nez, Noo-nez' were ever-present during Wednesday night's 2-1 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win against Fulham.
