The striker, who joined Liverpool from Benfica in June for a fee of $98.34 million, scored his second goal three minutes before halftime, meeting another cross from Robertson from close range.
Nunez was a nightmare for Southampton throughout afternoon, causing commotion in the air every time Liverpool played a ball into the box and connecting up brilliantly with his teammates, conjuring up an incredible backheel to send in Firmino, but the Brazilian was denied by Southampton keeper Gavin Bazunu.
The second half lacked the ferocity of the first, however Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson had to make two brilliant stops to keep his side’s two-goal lead intact, and Mohamed Salah wasted a fantastic opportunity when he seized possession and raced free into the area only to miscontrol the ball.
The visitors fought hard in the second half, but Jones has a lot of work to do when the season begins in late December.
