"[It was a] very difficult first half for us. They [Palace] did really well and we were lucky it was only 1-0. The second half was the opposite,"
"Set-pieces were one of our bigger strengths last season, but we conceded two at Newcastle and two today so we need to do better. This league is more and more and more about set-pieces."
"Their style fits really well with the players they have - low block, fast players and an excellent target man on the counter-attack - and we had a lot of problems with that in the first half."
Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park as Eddie Nketiah scored a 97th-minute winner after Federico Chiesa had levelled following an early Ismaila Sarr goal. Palace extended their unbeaten run to 18 matches and rose to second in the Premier League, while Liverpool remain top regardless of other weekend results. Liverpool highlighted vulnerabilities from set-pieces, conceding twice at Newcastle and twice in this match, and noted the increasing importance of set-pieces in the league. Palace's low block, pace and an effective target man on the counter caused significant first-half problems. Both teams travel for European fixtures next week.
