Darwin Nunez: Will Liverpool striker learn from horror home debut?

Manager Jurgen Klopp has promised new striker Darwin Nunez will learn from his nightmare home debut for Liverpool and come back stronger.

He became only the second player to be sent off in their first Premier League game for Liverpool at Anfield, after Joe Cole against Arsenal in 2010.

"Darwin knows he let his team-mates down. I will leave him alone for a night and then talk to him tomorrow," said Klopp.

The Uruguay forward will not relish that awkward conversation, perhaps made a little easier by Luis Diaz's stunning second-half equaliser just minutes after Nunez saw red.
