60 min: Liverpool are rattled. Venison, under no pressure whatsoever, attempts to hoof the ball upfield but nearly takes a wild fresh-air shot, instead slicing hectically, comically out of play. Palace have them on the ropes here, although the final ball is letting them down. They’re superior in every department right now, a complete switcheroo from Ray Wilkins’ half-time hot take.
59 min: Venison takes a heavy touch out on the Liverpool right and allows Barber to rob him, check inside, and cross to the other flank. Gray, competing with Burrows just inside the box, goes down under the high ball. A wee shove in the back there? You’ve seen them given, though to be fair Gray doesn’t complain too much when he picks himself up. Liverpool were all over the place again, though, with Bright left alone in the centre for a few careless seconds. Fortunately for Liverpool, Barber didn’t spot him at all.
