DARWIN NUNEZ has been urged by Uruguayan compatriot Luis Suarez to learn from his mistakes following his red card against Crystal Palace.
The 23-year-old was sent off on his Anfield debut in Monday night’s 1-1 draw after headbutting Eagles centre-back Joachim Andersen.
Former Benfica striker Nunez was wound up by Danish defender Andersen all match, culminating in the player losing his cool in the 57th minute.
Football fans slammed the ex-Almeria ace for his moment of madness as they labelled it as one of the worst individual performances in Premier League history.
Nunez’s team-mate Virgil van Dijk has warned the forward he “has to control himself”, and now Suarez has given his fellow countryman advice to succeed in England.
The 35-year-old, who has declared he “suffered from mistakes” during his time in Merseyside, has told Nunez to tread with caution after his sending off.

Though the Nacional centre-forward has hinted that English fans and the media have made the red card a “big deal”.
Speaking to Telemundo, he said: “With what happened to him the other day I was talking to him because he is just starting out and to make him aware that from now on, opponents will be seeking him out twice or three times more often.
“Even more so in England, he’s hearing this from an idiot who makes mistakes and suffers for them.
“But falling down and getting up again made me stronger. Don’t give them any more chances, it will only get worse.”

Suarez continued: “Darwin is someone who listens a lot.
“He is very smart that way and I think he will try to turn this situation around.
“It’s not a big deal, we have all made mistakes, we have all been sent off.
“The problem is that he’s only just arrived over there and in England, to put it lightly, they make a big deal out of everything.”
Nunez has apologised to Liverpool fans for his head loss as he vowed to learn from his mistakes and that it will not happen again.
