Liverpool star Darwin Nunez has taken to social media on Tuesday, to send a message of apology to the club’s supporters.
The name of hitman Nunez of course took its place front and centre in the headlines 24 hours ago.
This came as Jurgen Klopp’s troops welcomed Crystal Palace to Anfield, eyeing a return to winning ways on the back of an opening day Premier League stalemate with Fulham.
When all was said and done on Merseyside, though, the Reds’ search for a first three-point haul of the campaign rumbled on.
Despite a moment of magic on the part of Luis Diaz early in the 2nd-half, Liverpool were forced to settle for a share of the spoils, in a 1-1 stalemate.
The woes of the evening’s hosts, though, as alluded to above, did not end solely with the disappointing nature of their eventual result.
In addition, Klopp and co. saw a key member of the club’s frontline sent for an early bath.
Just shy of the hour mark, and with his side trailing by a goal to nil, summer signing Darwin Nunez was sent off, after being adjudged to have headbutted Palace stopper Joachim Andersen:
The Uruguayan, in turn, was singled out for deserved criticism, amid the widespread agreement that, had it not been for his moment of petulance, Liverpool would likely have gone on to emerge from proceedings triumphant.
And Nunez himself, evidently, has been left feeling responsible, too.
Taking to his official social media platforms on Tuesday evening, the 22-year-old has sent a message of apology to all associated with his new club.
The post in question can be seen below, with Nunez also assuring that he’ll soon ‘be back’:
