Liverpool sign off before the break with 3-1 win at Crystal Palace
Liverpool headed into the international break in good spirits after a 3-1 win away at Crystal Palace, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak doing the damage at Selhurst Park, as LiverpoolFC.com reports (LiverpoolFC.com).
ESPN focuses on the growing understanding between the attacking trio, noting that Liverpool fans were singing "poetry in motion" during a spell when Barcola, Isak and Wirtz looked like they were finally starting to click together on the pitch (ESPN). LiverpoolFC.com adds that Wirtz himself was pleased with how efficiently Liverpool took their chances on the day, and praised head coach Andoni Iraola's guidance in helping him find the net (LiverpoolFC.com).
There's plenty of praise for Alisson too. This Is Anfield reports he was once again "best in the world" between the posts, even if the site suggests the overall team performance was a little unconvincing at times despite the scoreline (This Is Anfield). Liverpool.com backs up the goalkeeper talk, saying Iraola was specifically asked about Alisson's display after the win, and also revealed an "unseen moment" involving Isak that he loved from the game (Liverpool.com).
On the manager's reaction, LiverpoolFC.com's separate report pulls together Iraola's thoughts on Alisson's goalkeeping alongside the goals from Wirtz and Isak that sealed the win (LiverpoolFC.com). Between the outlets, there's broad agreement that it was a satisfying away day for Liverpool heading into the international break, even if This Is Anfield's note of caution about the performance offers a slightly different shade to the otherwise positive coverage from ESPN and LiverpoolFC.com.
With the senior men's side now away on international duty, attention at Anfield briefly turns to the women's team, who host Aston Villa Women on Wednesday 11 November [A].
