Comments:

League position: 10th At 20 years and 267 days, Aaron Wan-Bissaka became the youngest Crystal Palace player to be sent-off in the Premier League; previously Chris Armstrong against Sheffield United in March 1993. He also became the first Palace player to be shown a red card in the Premier League since Pape Souare against Watford on 13 February 2016. The Eagles failed in their attempt to win four consecutive home games in the top division for the first time since December 1990. At their tenth attempt, Palace had yet to win their opening home game of a Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 2nd James Milner had now scored 13 out of the 15 penalties that he had taken in the Premier League (9 out of ten for Liverpool). Sadio Mané had now scored six goals in his eight Premier League appearances against Crystal Palace; more than against any other team. Liverpool had now kept six clean sheets in their last eight games in the Premier League.
