The Reds went a goal down after Florian Flecker’s superb strike found the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Equaliser came soon after the break as Nunez got his deserved goal from the spot following a foul on Luis Diaz.
Diaz himself then turned the game around after tapping in from close range from a low Ryan Gravenberch cross.
Substitute Mohamed Salah then secured the three points with a superb late finish to spare Liverpool from an unexpected loss. talkSPORT
