Liverpool fans abuse Joachim Andersen

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen says he has received 300-400 abusive messages on Instagram after he was involved in an incident that saw Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez sent-off.

Nunez was shown a red card after 57 minutes of Monday’s 1-1 draw when he reacted to a shove from Andersen with a headbutt that floored the Dane.

Andersen posted examples of the abuse, some of which included death threats.

He has called on Instagram and the Premier League to act.

“Got maybe 3-400 of these messages last night,” The 26-year-old said. “I understand you support a team but have some respect and stop act tough online.”

He added: “Hope Instagram and the Premier League do something about this.”
