Crouch outscored Nunez and Jota at Anfield

thesun.co.uk

Peter Crouch has made headlines after scoring two goals in a legends' match between Liverpool and Chelsea. The 44-year-old former professional was praised for his performance on Saturday at Anfield. Crouch's two goals in the game put him at a surprising statistic: he has scored more home goals in 2025 than Liverpool forwards Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota. Fans noticed that even Jota's single goal in a separate FA Cup match does not match Crouch's tally. This news has sparked calls from fans for Crouch to return to professional football. One fan suggested that he could play alongside current stars like Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo. Another fan humorously claimed Crouch is better than Nunez and expressed a desire to see him play for the rest of the season. Luis Diaz is also struggling this year, with only one goal at home compared to Salah's seven goals in all competitions so far in 2025. The legends' match featured former Liverpool players like Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt, while Chelsea had stars like Claude Makelele and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. The game included some heated moments as Dennis Wise clashed with Jay Spearing near the end.
