EFL Cup Reactions: The Reds Are Eliminated as Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle Progress
It proved to be a evening of major surprises and expected progressions in the League Cup, with one of the tournament's front-runners suffering a shock exit.
Surprise Loss for The Merseyside Club
The Eagles produced a dominant three-nil win against their hosts, completing a notable triple of triumphs over the Anfield outfit in the last few months.
The outcome means Palace have now defeated Liverpool on 3 separate occasions, which includes a spot-kick win in the Community Shield and a 2-1 Premier League triumph at Selhurst Park.
The traveling supporters were heard playfully singing, "Can we play you each week?"
Historic Chance for The Eagles
Although their recent successes, they have never reached the final of the EFL Cup, being eliminated at the semi-final stage on 4 past times.
