Joachim Andersen has received more than 400 abusive messages on Instagram - including sickening death treats - after Darwin Nunez was sent off on Monday night.
Liverpool striker Nunez, 23, was shown his marching orders by referee Paul Tierney after lashing out at the Crystal Palace defender during the side's 1-1 draw at Anfield. The Uruguayan was making his home debut for the Reds after his £85million move from Portuguese side Benfica in June.
At the time, Palace were leading on Merseyside thanks to Wilfried Zaha's first-half goal. A stunning strike from Luis Diaz managed to salvage a 1-1 draw for Liverpool, leaving them four points behind champions Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
