‘Something to say’ - Ex-Crystal Palace owner makes Liverpool players claim after Darwin Nunez red card

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has warned that the Liverpool squad will have ‘something to say’ to Darwin Nunez after he saw red for a headbutt on Monday night.

The 23-year-old had a home debut to forget against Patrick Vieira’s side, failing to evade the constant physicality of Joachim Andersen before snapping on the hour mark and striking the Dane. Referee Paul Tierney was yards away from the incident and had no option but to show the Reds forward a straight red, meaning he will be banned for at least three games.

Luis Diaz equalised with a stunning solo effort just minutes after, but a man down and without a recognised forward - Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino were both injured - Jurgen Klopp’s side managed just a point for the second game running. And ex-Palace boss Jordan has hinted that the experienced members of the dressing room will have ‘something to say’, adding that the striker will have to face the ‘reality’ of playing for Liverpool.
