Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez was sent off in the match against Crystal Palace.
The 23-year-old saw red after a coming together with Palace defender Joachim Andersen led to a headbutt, with referee Paul Tierney brandishing a straight red. The Uruguayan will subsequently miss the next three games.
It was far from a dream home debut for the former Benfica man, who cut a frustrated figure as a solid back-three kept tight. He missed a great chance early in the first half and then struck the post on the stroke of half-time.

And things got worse for the Reds forward just before the hour mark when Palace centre-back Andersen confronted him, which lead to the headbutt. And after the striker was sent off, Liverpool fans took to Twitter to have their say.
@Odogu_jn r tweeted: Nunez lacks Discipline I swear, that was so unnecessary
@JackChrisJones tweeted: Absolutely no defending Núñez there. He'll have to learn that defenders will push him to the limits to get that kind of reaction
@KloppEyes tweeted: Nunez has had a nightmare of a game. Miskicked at back post. Then again and hit the post. And the sending off may have showed him mercy and ended it early.
@theirishmon k tweeted: I guess we won’t be seeing the Nunez/Martinez match up anytime soon #MUFC
@big_man_joshyy tweeted: Nunez hopefully that’s not a recurring thing he needs to keep his head. I like him.
