Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville explain Darwin Nunez 'moment of madness' as Liverpool man sees red

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have labelled Darwin Nunez’ red card as ‘a moment of madness’ after the Liverpool striker headbutted Joachim Andersen.

The Reds came from behind to draw 1-1 at home to Crystal Palace thanks to Luis Diaz’ stunning striker, making it just two points from their opening two games - four points off the imperious Manchester City. The Colombian fired home just four minutes after £64million summer signing Nunez was shown a straight red for a wild headbutt on Palace defender Andersen.

The 23-year-old cut a frustrated figure during his home debut, missing a great chase early on before striking the post with a scuffed shot. And when Andersen confronted the striker over a coming together, the Uruguayan snapped and went head-to-head with the Dane - something Neville described as ‘a moment of madness’.
