Crystal Palace’s Andersen reveals death threats after Liverpool draw

Liverpool was held to a 1-1 draw at Anfield by Crystal Palace on a night that Darwin Nunez was sent off for a headbutt, being agitated by Palace’s defender Joachim Andersen, who shared the messages of death threats and abusive messages he received following the draw.

Wilfried Zaha put Palace ahead in the first half and

Darwin Nunez

got sent off for a headbutt early in the second half, when,

Joachim Andersen

got under the skin of the Uruguayan, leading him to his angry reaction.

The

Crystal Palace

defender shared 17 images including death threats and abusive messages he received on social media. Andersen said:

"Got maybe 300 to 400 of these messages last night. I understand you support a team but have some respect and stop acting tough online.

"I hope Instagram and the Premier League do something about this."

Last April, English clubs

boycotted social media

in response to discrimination and abuse aimed at the members of the footballing community.

 

Although after Nunez’s sent-off Luis Diaz equalized for

Liverpool

with a brilliant strike, Jurgen Klopp’s side was held to a draw for the second consecutive week.

Jurgen Klopp

said after the game:

"It was a really good start, exactly what we wanted, showing a lot of desire, it was all there."

"We were then unlucky in situations. The game plan for Palace was obviously to have five at the back, get men behind the ball and go for the counterattack. It is difficult with the speed of Zaha.
