Darwin Nunez: Luis Suarez reveals what he said to Liverpool striker after red card
Liverpool icon Luis Suarez has weighed in on Darwin Nunez’ forgettable home debut against Crystal Palace.
Nunez set the world alight with a goal and assist from the bench away to Fulham in Liverpool’s Premier League opener, but received his marching orders in a troubled Anfield debut against Palace.
Jurgen Klopp’s side went on to draw the game 1-1 and must now head to Old Trafford in search of their first league win this season, without Nunez available due to his antics.
The 23-year-old signed for Liverpool in a deal that could be worth a club-record £85 million but came under heavy criticism online for his showings in pre-season.
It appeared as though he bounced back from that with strong performances in the Community Shield and Liverpool‘s Premier League opening stalemate away to Fulham, but he was brought back down to earth against Palace at Anfield.
With much expected of the Uruguayan on his home debut, he became embroiled in a tussle with defender Joachim Andersen throughout the evening, becoming visibly frustrated as the game drew on.
And with Palace ahead, Nunez seemed to kick out at Andersen with a headbutt that wasn’t picked up to the outrage of Palace fans. However, justice was served around the hour mark when Nunez lost his cool again and headbutted Andersen, sending the defender to the floor and getting sent off in the process.
It proved incredibly costly for Jurgen Klopp’s side as they could only pull back one goal and leave with a draw, and has resulted in criticism of Nunez again from all angles.
But Suarez has weighed in on the incident against Palace in an interview with Telemundo which was posted to Twitter, quoted via the Daily Mail.
