The 33-year-old entered the fray at the break, with the Reds 2-0 down. First, he set up Fernandes to pull a goal back on 59 minutes, before heading home twice himself, including a brilliant winner in injury-time.
Fernandes was delighted to see Cavani make such an impact and also pointed out the importance of his work off the ball, as shown in our Champions League win over Istanbul Basaksehir in midweek.
“When you have strikers who move a lot, and they give you the chance to play balls for them, it is really good,” he told club media.
