"Crystal Palace's rising stature spread to Selhurst Park's "Holmesdale Fanatics" as they watched the frailties Liverpool have shown this season being brutally exposed. The Eagles had torn the visitors to shreds for 34 minutes, with somehow only an Ismaila Sarr goal to show for their superiority, when the club's famous section of support delivered their verdict. "We're going to win the league" echoed around this great old atmospheric stadium - optimism taken to the extreme perhaps, but a clear signal of just how good this Palace side is."
"Oliver Glasner's side refused to let the Reds off the hook, as has happened on occasion with other opponents this term, although they did their best when only going in 1-0 up at half-time when it could have been 6-0. Sarr's ninth-minute opener was scant reward for a pulsating Palace performance, Liverpool keeper Alisson - the one player in their side to emerge with credit - saving superbly from Yeremy Pino, Daniel Munoz and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who also struck the woodwork."
Crystal Palace dominated Liverpool at Selhurst Park, controlling large periods and creating numerous chances while leading 1-0 at half-time through Ismaila Sarr. Palace threatened to score multiple goals before the break, with Liverpool keeper Alisson producing several key saves from Yeremy Pino, Daniel Munoz and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who also hit the woodwork. Liverpool briefly equalised in the 87th minute, but a stoppage-time winner from substitute Eddie Nketiah secured a dramatic 2-1 victory for Palace. The win marked only Palace's second league victory over Liverpool in 17 meetings and their first at home since 2014, underlining strong progress under Oliver Glasner.
