'It won't happen again' - Liverpool striker Nunez apologizes after Palace red card

Darwin Nunez has apologized for his red card in Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Anfield.

The Uruguay international, who arrived from Benfica for £64m (€75m), endured a frustrating start at home for the Reds which resulted in an early bath after a kick header on palace defender Joachim Andersen.

Nunez had recorded five shots - none of which were off target - when he reacted after a long period of taunting from Andersen just before the hour mark, throwing his head in the centre-half's face.< /p>

The striker became just the second Liverpool player to be sacked in his first Premier League home appearance; exactly 12 years after Joe Cole received his orders in a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

Nunez has since taken to Twitter to express his remorse over the incident, posting, "I'm aware of the ugly attitude I've had. I'm here to learn from my mistakes and it won't. won't happen again. Apologies to Liverpool. I'll be back."

The 23-year-old will now miss Liverpool's mouth-watering showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford next Monday, as well as back-to-back home games against Bournemouth and Newcastle United.
