Stunning Defeat for Liverpool
Crystal Palace produced a commanding three-nil victory against Liverpool, sealing a remarkable hat-trick of successes over the Anfield outfit in the last few months.
This result signifies Palace have now beaten their opponents on three distinct instances, including a spot-kick win in the season's traditional curtain-raiser and a two-one league win at their home ground.
The traveling supporters could be heard playfully chanting, "Shall we play you each week?"
Historic Opportunity for The Eagles
