Darwin Nunez should be slapped with a FIVE-game ban for 'assault' after headbutting Joachim Andersen, insists Jason Cundy - who claims £85m Uruguayan could have broken the defender's nose in 1-1 draw with Palace

Liverpool's Darwin Nunez should be handed a five-match ban after headbutting Joachim Andersen on Monday night, according to Jason Cundy.

The TalkSport pundit was adamant that a regulation three-match ban is not sufficient punishment for Nunez, who headbutt Palace defender Andersen in the second half of his Anfield debut, resulting in a straight red card.

The Uruguayan striker was playing in front of the Kop for the first time as a Liverpool player when he saw red, with his side trailing the Eagles 1-0, although they equalised within five minutes of his dismissal.
