Footage shows Liverpool star Darwin Nunez snub handshake from Toulouse player after defeat
Darwin Nunez was in no mood for handshakes as he snubbed Toulouse player Frank Magri's gesture after Liverpool's Europa League defeat.

Liverpool arguably played their worst performance of the season but given their previous results, they still sit top of Group E.
Nunez was brought on to replace Cody Gakpo just after an own goal from Cristian Casseres Jr. saw the Reds score their first of the night.
However, Toulouse netted their crucial third goal moments later as poor Liverpool defending was capitalised on by forward Magri.
At the full-time whistle, he followed the customary procedure of shaking his opponents' hands and offered to do so with Nunez.
