Overview
- Crystal Palace won 3-0 at Anfield, with Ismaila Sarr scoring twice before Yeremy Pino added a late third.
- Arne Slot left senior figures such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk out, made ten changes, and named a bench largely of teenagers.
- Liverpool have lost six of their last seven games across competitions, including three defeats to Palace this season.
- Teenage defender Amara Nallo was sent off 12 minutes after coming on, his second red card in as many senior appearances.
- Jamie Redknapp led pundit criticism of the selection, Palace boss Oliver Glasner rejected claims Liverpool’s XI was weak, and reports indicate Slot still has board backing.
