Liverpool Ease Past Palace as Pressure Mounts on Sage
Liverpool returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, a result that leaves Eagles manager Pierre Sage fighting for his job.
Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz scored either side of half-time before Alexander Isak added a third, with goalkeeper Alisson making six saves at the other end to keep the hosts at bay.
Palace pulled one back through a penalty, but the defeat was their fourth in a row in the league, and reports suggest Sage is now expected to be sacked, with Thomas Frank named as a possible replacement.
Liverpool back on track
The win gets Liverpool moving again after a difficult run, with their attacking trio all on the scoresheet and Alisson in commanding form behind them.
Sage on the brink
Four straight defeats have left Palace deep in a relegation scrap, and the club hierarchy are now weighing a change in the dugout during the international break.
