Despite the scoreline, Palace boss Oliver Glasner was full of praise for Freddie Woodman, highlighting just how big a role he played in ensuring we took all three points.

Glasner singles out Woodman performance

Speaking via cpfc.co.uk after the match, the Austrian manager made it clear exactly who he believed was the difference-maker on the day.

“The Liverpool goalkeeper [Freddie Woodman] had the day of his life so congratulations to him.”

That assessment says a lot about how the game unfolded, with Palace creating enough chances to cause problems, only to be repeatedly denied by the 29-year-old stopper.

The former Newcastle man’s display ensured that we stayed in control, even when momentum threatened to swing, especially during a second half where the visitors pushed hard to get back into the game.
