Liverpool entertained Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier tonight as they looked to earn a good result at home in the EFL Cup. The Reds made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 41st minute when Ismaila Sarr found the back of the net. Sarr doubled his team’s advantage just four minutes later as Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
Amara Nallo was sent off by the referee in the 79th minute before Yeremy Pino killed the game off in the 88th minute. The match finished with Liverpool suffering a disappointing 3-0 loss at Merseyside.
