James Milner has insisted that he and his Liverpool teammates will rally around Darwin Nunez after the £85million striker's home debut ended in disgrace on Monday night.
Nunez was handed his first Premier League start during the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace after an impressive goalscoring cameo in last weekend's draw with Fulham. However, the striker's first jaunt at Anfield lasted less than an hour after he headbutted Joachim Anderson right in front of referee Paul Tierney.
The Uruguayan's senseless dismissal left Liverpool with a mountain to climb after Wilfried Zaha had fired the Eagles into the lead with a superb first-half strike. Fortunately, Luis Diaz conjured up a moment of individual magic to rescue a point for the Reds, who already find themselves four points behind title rivals Manchester City.
