Crystal Palace’s win over Liverpool offered a glimpse into what could be an exciting future for the club.

Under previous manager Roy Hodgson, the side were criticised for their approach to the big games with defensive solidity the focus for getting points against the traditional 'big six'.

After the victory at Anfield, goalkeeper Dean Henderson revealed that Oliver Glasner told his side that they were going to beat Liverpool.

Henderson said that the positive mindset laid out by Glasner had an effect on the team and it made the unlikely win sweeter.

The Eagles were positive from kick off, playing passes and getting the ball forward where possible, something Glasner has encouraged since he has taken over.

The winning goal was the result of a 17 pass move and the clip of Eberechi Eze’s goal has gone viral on the club’s X account.

Before the game, talk had started about how Glasner had only picked up one win in his opening six matches but you could see the change in the way Palace were trying to play.

Glasner is still without Marc Guehi and Cheick Doucoure, while Michael Olise and Eze are still building their way to full fitness.

The win has near enough guaranteed another year of Premier League football and with a pre-season behind him and a fully fit squad next season, Glasner could be set to deliver an exciting campaign for Palace.
