Palace stun Liverpool as Sarr fires them into Carabao Cup quarters
Crystal Palace haunted Liverpool again, but Arne Slot faces bigger concerns.
Slot picked a weakened lineup in the Carabao Cup, and trouble may follow.
Moreover, Aston Villa and Real Madrid loom on the horizon for Selhurst.
The FA Cup and Community Shield winners eased into the quarter-finals thanks to a first-half double from Ismaïla Sarr.
The Senegal forward now has seven goals in nine appearances against Liverpool for Palace and Watford.
That makes him the tormentor-in-chief as Oliver Glasner’s side register their third win over Klopp’s team in 80 days.
Nevertheless, this slump could bite Palace if cup momentum fades in the coming fixtures.
