Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage, speaking to TNT Sports:"I think it could be better if we score before but I know too that Dean Henderson kept us in the game with his saves. I like the energy of the team and to never give up until the end. This goal came at a good moment. We maybe had a last chance to win the game."
On Adam Wharton's red card:"I never comment on the decision of the referee. It's difficult to play without him, we suffered just after that but we reorganised ourselves to play with a back four."

On Palace receiving many yellow cards:"For sure we want to take less cards because we need all the players for all the competition. Today, with the energy and the fight, I think we were in a situation to take the risk of some cards. Now we just have to understand that we don't have to be in this situation by managing our game in a better way from the beginning."
On Liverpool coming up at the weekend:"First of all recovery and we have to build the gameplan because it's a crazy team with really good players. They lost their two last games. I think they will come with a lot of ambition and we have to deal with that."
On whether Axel Disasi will be available at the weekend:"Yes."
Crystal Palace goalscorer Daichi Kamada, speaking to TNT Sports:"My first chance I had to score and then my goal was just a little bit lucky. We are not satisfied about the result so we need to keep working hard and we have to improve a lot."

On what Crystal Palace can take going into the Liverpool game:"If we play like today against Liverpool, we will concede a lot and lose definitely. We have to switch on and defend better. We have to play better, everything."
