Liverpool Fc Continue to suffer at the hands of Crystal Palace irrespective of their manager and this is a proven fact.
Palace were hosted at the Anfield Stadium and they continued to exert their dominance over Liverpool Fc in the EFL cup.
Ismaila Sarr who seems to be fond of scoring against Liverpool Fc was at his best yet again to deliver his trademark performance.
Arne Slot and his side started the game very well with sparks of promise in the opening minutes but their efforts were lacking urgency. Crystal Palace who were being pushed back started to find their feet in the game and with minutes to end the first half. Sarr announced his presence.
In the space of five (5) minutes, Sarr scored two unanswered goals against Liverpool Fc. His first in the 41’ and 45’. With the firepower Liverpool Fc currently possess, it was just a matter of getting it right but the game returned from the break only for Palace to add a third.
Amara Nallo, a youngster who has been trusted by Slot for the second time got sent off for the second time before Yéremy Pino added the third for Crystal Palace in the 88’.
Liverpool Fc at this point needed some form of fighting spirit which they never found only to bow out of the EFL cup.
Crystal Palace have been a thorne in the flesh of Liverpool Fc for more than a decade. Crystal Palace stopper Liverpool from winning the title in 2014, they ruined Garrard’s Anfield farewell, beat Liverpool in the Community Shield, beat them ilast month with an Eddie Nketiah late winner, ensured Marc Guehi remains a Palace on the transfer deadline and have convincingly knocked them out of the EFL cup.
Although Arne Slot is having a sagging start to the season, the woes Crystal Palace have inflicted on Liverpool Fc are historic and needs to be studied.
