Match reports crystal palace vs Liverpool FA cup

Adam Lallana was the hero as
Liverpool banished their Selhurst Park
demons and booked a place in the quarter-
finals of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win over
Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers’ men suffered a
chastening 3-1 loss in south-east London
earlier this season and the hosts suggested
a repeat when Fraizer Campbell gave them
a 15th-minute lead.
But Liverpool had only lost twice in 21
games across all competitions since that
reverse last November and they brushed
off a frustrating first half when Daniel
Sturridge equalised with a fine volley
after 49 minutes.
And Lallana scored decisively when a free-
kick from substitute Mario Balotelli
shortly before the hour proved too hot for
Julian Speroni to handle, ensuring Palace
could not muster a repeat of their famous
semi-final triumph over the same
opponents 25 years ago.
Dwight Gayle came off the bench to score
twice in the dramatic 3-3 draw that dealt
a decisive blow to Liverpool’s Premier
League title bid last season and the
recalled forward was instrumental in the
game’s opening goal.
Martin Skrtel misjudged a punt forward
from Joe Ledley, allowing Gayle to head at
the on-rushing Simon Mignolet before
Campbell slotted home the rebound.
A brilliant 20th-minute save by Speroni
stopped Lallana – in for the cup-tied
Jordon Ibe – from bringing Liverpool level
when he smashed goalwards at the end of
an intricate passing move, while home
defender Scott Dann slid to block a drilled
Philippe Coutinho effort.

Liverpool's Jordon Ibe Wanted by Nigeria

Though European-born Nigerians have in the past starred for the national team but the desperation to lure foreign born Nigerians who have played for their country of birth at the underage competitions to don the colours of the national team by the football federation has been heightened of recent. The latest name on the card of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is Liverpool starlet, Jordon Femi Ibe, who has already represented England at Under-18, 19 and 20 levels since 2012.
