'A lot of growing to do' - Liverpool great makes Darwin Nunez point after red card against Crystal Palace

Former Liverpool star Steve Nicol has warned new signing Darwin Nunez has 'a lot of growing to do' after he was sent off in the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night.

Despite dominating possession and creating a number of good chances, the Reds found themselves 1-0 down at half-time following a well-worked counter-attack from the visitors. Things only got worse after the break as the Uruguayan received a straight red card for headbutting Palace defender Joachim Andersen.

Luis Diaz stepped up with a moment of magic to salvage a point for Jurgen Klopp 's side, but it was another disappointing result for Liverpool as they're still without a win in the league. Nunez is understandably the talking point and former Red Nicol believes the 23-year-old will be 'fine', but there's still plenty to work on when it comes to composure both on and off the ball.
