Darwin Nunez is clearly a passionate character, as Liverpool supporters discovered in August.

On his second Premier League appearance for the Reds following an £85 million transfer from Benfica, the Uruguay international was given a red card for headbutting a Crystal Palace player.

To be slapped with a three-match suspension for Liverpool before even playing three games is quite an achievement.

As mentioned, this is a fiery character, a taller version of Luis Suarez and no doubt the Kop will absolutely adore him throughout the length of his spell on Merseyside.

Liverpool beat Newcastle United 2-1 at Anfield last night, with Fabio Carvalho netting a 98th-minute winner.

Moments later there was a brief fracas between both dugouts on the touchline and Nunez was spotted in the stands looking rather animated.

Here’s a photo of the moment Nunez reacted:

Already the 23-year-old is looking like the sort of character who rival fanbases will absolutely despise.

However, Liverpool supporters are going to adore the South American not only for his undeniable ability, hence why a club-record figure was spent on him, but for his passion, too.
