Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen receives death threats after Darwin Nunez sending off

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen said he has received death threats directed at him and his family after he was headbutted by Liverpool's Darwin Nunez in Monday's Premier League 1-1 draw which resulted in the striker being sent off at Anfield.

The striker was shown a straight red card after headbutting Andersen in the second half with Liverpool trailing following Wilfried Zaha's strike.

The hosts managed to salvage a point after Luis Dias' stunning equaliser but the result leaves Liverpool winless after two games -- down in 12th place -- and fans vented their frustration by contacting Andersen on Instagram, where he highlighted the abusive messages he had received.
