Nunez came off the bench with 77 minutes played at St. James’ Park back in August with, at that stage, the Reds 1-0 behind and down to 10 men following the first-half dismissal of captain Virgil van Dijk.
However, the Uruguayan propelled his side to an unlikely 2-1 victory by burying a pair of clinical finishes, including a stoppage-time winner.
The accolade will be won by the player with the most ‘game-changing’ performance over the course of the 2023-24 season and you can vote for Nunez here before 6pm BST on Friday May 24.
