Andoni Iraola sees “room to improve” as Sage denies Palace “nightmare”

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola praised his team's away form while noting room for improvement following a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage rejected claims that his managerial tenure had turned into a nightmare despite the defeat dropping the club to the bottom of the Premier League table.

Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 40th minute, followed by goals from Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, before Eddie Nketiah scored a late stoppage-time penalty for Palace. Iraola noted that midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai entered the international break at less than 100 percent fitness.
