Liverpool were held to a draw for the second successive match as Darwin Nunez’s red card hindered their efforts to come back against Crystal Palace.
Having drawn 2-2 at Craven Cottage against Fulham in their opening game of the season, Jurgen Klopp’s side dropped another two points at Anfield against a determined Palace side. Patrick Vieira’s side came to sit deep and counter-attack and their game plan worked perfectly in a deserved 1-1 draw.
After sustaining lots of pressure, the away side took the lead when Ebere Eze played Wilfried Zaha in on the break and the Palace forward produced a neat finish past Alisson one-on-one. Nunez spurned Liverpool’s two best chances and his game got even worse when he headbutted Joachim Andersen in the second half to receive a straight red card on his home debut.
