ESPN sees flashes of cohesion in Liverpool's costly attack

ESPN points to two attacking moves as signs of potential, not proof the whole match had clicked. Nine minutes after halftime, Ronald Araujo played Bradley Barcola through on the right, and Barcola crossed for Florian Wirtz to score. Later, substitute Víctor Muñoz raced forward on a counter and found Wirtz, whose touch set up Alexander Isak for his eighth goal of the season in all competitions. ESPN describes the Barcola-Wirtz move as the kind of fast, fluid attack Liverpool has not executed consistently this season. It also says Liverpool did not show enough of that quality overall against Palace, at times relying on the crossbar and Alisson’s saves.
