Like Ortega with Van der Sar, Darwin Núñez saw the red card for a header on his Premier League debut

The Uruguayan Darwin Núñez he had started off on the right foot in Liverpool. In the first two games (one for the Community Shield and one for the Premier) he had managed to write his name on the net. Gradually the striker began to pay with goals the great economic effort made by the English team that paid him75 million euros (plus another 25 million variables) to Benfica in Portugal. However, in his first game as a starter, he sent himself a macana flower and saw his first red card in the Premier.

How was the expulsion of Núñez

Eleven minutes into the second half, Danish defender Joachim Andersen began arguing with Núñez. And it got bigger when he pushed him and Darwin reacted: he turned around and headbutted him. How? She shrugged slightly and aimed directly at her chin. The defender fell to the ground, exaggerating a bit, but the penalty was inevitable: expulsion for the attacker in the middle of Anfield.

Núñez had to go to the showers early. As he walked off the field, Klopp didn’t even look at him. Of course, the DT will not be amused by the reaction of the Uruguayan and, much less, by the fact that Liverpool were left in ten men.

Ortega’s header for Van de Sar

The header ended up being very similar to that of Ariel Ortega – also sent off – to Dutch goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar in the quarter-finals of the 1998 World Cup. Argentina ended up being eliminated by falling 2-1.

Liverpool 1-1

Second consecutive draw for Liverpool in the current Premier. Zaha had opened the account the first time for the visit (one unit), Colombian Luis Díaz equalized in the second half after a great individual maneuver.

Klopp’s men will play the away classic against Manchester United on Monday (zero points). It will be at 16:00 (Argentine time). A party for renting balconies.
