Forward Luis Diaz cancelled out Wilfried Zaha's opener for
Palace. Nunez was red carded for a head-butt on his home debut.
"I told the boys after the game I'm proud," Klopp told
reporters.
"I thought the start (of the second half) was positive again and
then the red card happened. But obviously the best possible
reaction from (Diaz) then -- worldie, wonderful goal.
"And from that moment on it was a special game," he said, adding
that he was pleased with how much pressure they put Palace under
with 10 men.
Nunez was shown a straight red card in the 57th minute for his
reaction to a shove from Palace defender Joachim Andersen, and
Klopp said the Uruguayan international needed to learn from his
mistake, which will likely result in a three-match ban.
"A little provocation here and there - and definitely the wrong
reaction. A clear red card, I cannot deny that. He will learn
from that," Klopp said.
"Unfortunately, he has now a few games' time to do so.
"Andersen wanted that, I would say, and he got it. But he made a
mistake, Darwin, so of course we will talk about it."
Liverpool, who are 12th after drawing their first two games,
next travel to Old Trafford to face bottom side Manchester
United.
