Superstar causes a scandal +++ dream goal saves Liverpool |
Klopp’s crazy home start!
Two games, two points – false start for Liverpool in the new season.
The 2-2 draw at newly promoted Fulham on Matchday 1 was followed by another draw (1-1) against outsiders Crystal Palace.
Klopp brings 75 million man Darwin Nuñez (23) for the ailing Firmino. He has a great chance to take the lead in the 9th minute, but his direct acceptance goes just over it.

The scene of the game in the 57th minute – Darwin’s scandal at the Anfield premiere!
Darwin and Palace defense chief Andersen clash. The uru gets carried away with two headbutts on the Dane – red! The newcomer from Benfica Lisbon had scored against Fulham after being substituted on.
Just three minutes later, Colombia’s Luis Diaz equalized with a world-class solo, leaving the entire Palace defense in place.
Diaz dream goal saved Liverpool!
But the Reds are lucky to salvage a point at all. Zaha (76th) only hits the outer post after a Doucouré cross.
After all: Next Monday (August 22, 9 p.m. / live on Sky and in the BILD.de ticker) Liverpool will face archrival Manchester United. After two embarrassing bankruptcies against Brighton (1: 2) and Brentford (0: 4), he has anything but a run…
