Premier League LIVE: Darwin Nunez does Zinedine Zidane, HEADBUTTS Anderson on his Liverpool debut, FANS stunned and shocked: Watch Nunez Headbutt Anderson
Nunez Headbutt Anderson: Such was the horrible attack by Nunez that even it took James Klopp and his LIVERPOOL teammates by some surpris. .
Klopp said: “I cannot deny it is a red card. That’s not how you should behave. He’s provoked all the time but it’s absolutely not the reaction you want to see.
“The center-halves will do that to him. He’s a handful himself but that’s not the reaction.
“He knows he has let his teammates down.”
How the incident unfolded? Andersen and Nunez tussled off the ball in the Eagles’ area ten minutes into the second half. The Uruguayan put his head flicked his head back towards his opponent. And then as the ball was cleared, Andersen gave the Liverpool record signing a shove in the back as referee Paul Tierney kept a close eye on the pair
Then the red mist descended for Nunez as he turned and nutted the Dane with a sudden forehead on his chin in a disgusting act of violence. The fuming forward incredibly squared up to Tierney after the ref brandished the red card.
James Milner, captain for the night, ran over to the scene to try and calm his raging teammate down before he eventually relented and headed down the tunnel in front of a shocked Anfield.
It completed a nightmare home debut after he missed two glorious chances to score in the first half. The first saw him completely miscue a volley well off target. And then he scuffed the ball as it sat up nicely for him – but it bounced against the far post.
Jurgen Klopp blasted Nunez for his moment of madness, which came with the Reds already 1-0 down after Wilfried Zaha’s first-half sucker punch.
