Jurgen Klopp was forced to shame Darwin Nunez after Liverpool 's £64million signing was astonishingly sent off for a full-forced head butt on his home debut.
Nunez saw red in more ways than one during the Reds' dramatic 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace which leaves them without a win after two Premier League games. The 23-year-old striker, having signed for the Anfield club this summer for a potential club-record fee worth £85m, is suspended for three matches. In a moment of madness on a thrilling night on Merseyside, Nunez lashed out at Palace centre-back Joachim Anderson before Luis Diaz 's sensational equaliser rescued a point.
The Uruguayan hot shot, who gave referee Paul Tierney no choice but to send him for an early shower, became the Liverpool player to be red carded for violent conduct since Klopp took charge nearly seven years ago. Post-match, the Reds boss condemned the incident and told Sky Sports : "Darwin knows [he let his teammates down]. I will talk to him. It was not a reaction we want to see.
