Former Liverpool star Didi Hamann gives different take on Darwin Nunez red card incident

Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann doesn't believe Darwin Nunez headbutted Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen.

The Uruguayan striker was shown a straight red card after he lashed out the centre-back and is now suspended for three games. Jurgen Klopp 's side were 1-0 down at the time and in search of an equaliser, which came shortly after the incident through a moment of magic from Luis Diaz.

Down to 10 men, Liverpool were unable to salvage anything more than a draw and will now be without Nunez for the upcoming games against Manchester United, Bournemouth and Newcastle. Hamann believes the three game ban is enough of a punishment and isn't entirely convinced the 23-year-old headbutted Andersen.
