The defeat is Liverpool’s sixth straight in domestic football, their only recent success being a Champions League win at Eintracht Frankfurt last week.

Arne Slot saw his much-changed Liverpool fall to a sixth loss in seven matches as Ismaila Sarr’s brace helped Crystal Palace reach the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.

Ismaila Sarr kept up his excellent goalscoring record against Liverpool this season by netting twice in quick succession towards the end of the first-half.
