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. “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. 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. It was only their second league win over Liverpool in 17 meetings and first at home since 2014. Selhurst Park went wild in celebration, but these are the sort of scenes Palace fans are becoming accustomed to under the superb leadership of Austrian Glasner.
