Joe Cole and Peter Crouch were left in hysterics when posed a risque question on Saturday afternoon - 'does size matter?'

The duo were on punditry duties for TNT Sport ahead of Liverpool's trip to Brentford and previewed the clash alongside presenter Lynsey Hipgrave. The group were set to debate the qualities of forwards Darwin Nunez and Ivan Toney respectively before the conversation went slightly off track.

Hipgrave posed the hypothesis that the traditional No.9 appears to have returned to the Premier League. Their stature was soon providing ample ammunition for the conversation to end in innuendo.

The TNT presenter began: "Big No.9s on both sides as well, with Nunez in the Liverpool team as well. We seem to be seeing so many towering No.9s in the Premier League this season. The question Joe is..."

"We've not seen the likes of the proper big No.9, this man to my left for a long, long time," interjected Cole, before Crouch retorted: "I've got to be honest they're a little bit more mobile these days."

Hipgrave waited for the laughter to dissipate before moving on to her question: "Does size matter?" Cole could not contain his laughter as former Liverpool forward Crouch fumbled around for how to respond to the risque question.

"Oh Lyns, what a question. Ermm, I don't know if I'm equipped to answer that one," stumbled the former England international as Cole chirped in: "We'll have to ask the missus," to leave the trio unable to get another word out for laughing.

In the end, Darwin Nunez opened the scoring with a fine finish at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Uruguay international drove through the sent of the pitch before scooping the ball over the head of a standing Mark Flekken from 18 yards out for his 13th goal of the season.

The opening 45 minutes of that match saw Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota leave the field prematurely. Jones had to leave the field after coming off worse in a 50-50 challenge, while Jota appeared to injure his knee. The Liverpool star was stretchered off the field after landing awkwardly after teammate Alexis Mac Allister stood on his foot.
