But the Belgian keeper failed to hold it and Liverpool born Dann was first to the rebound.

“This is a way of life at a Premier League ground”.
Liverpool looked leggy against Palace, especially in the latter stages.
Emre Can is keen to follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, but claims that not even Lionel Messi could take the former captain’s place at Anfield.
“This was a game Liverpool should never have lost”.
Palace boss Alan Pardew thoroughly enjoyed the game but admits scoring after 21 minutes caused them more issues than he wanted.
Defender Scott Dann fired a header straight at Mignolet from a corner. You have to defend well at Liverpool, and everybody defended well. There were a number of chances created as well but the finishing was poor in general with Christian Benteke unable to convert the chances he was provided with by the midfield.
“We didn’t start the best, it’s just improving on that and starting from the first minute, keeping the ball, keeping composure, building into the game and trying to win”.
At the Emirates Arsenal fell behind to a 32nd-minute goal from Spurs’ Harry Kane who got on the end of a clever ball over the top from Danny Rose and went past Laurent Koscielny mistakenly trying to play the England forward offside before rolling a shot across Petr Cech. “But we have to make them want to stay”. “This was the last game in a series of games which was a goal for us and we needed three points to achieve that goal”.
“I feel bad because it was absolutely not necessary to lose”. This was not enough for us – we can do more.
“The big decisions are made in moments when you are exhausted and under stress, and we have to learn that”.
“We came here with ambition”.
“It was not good but after that, we played 75 minutes of very good moves”.
“We went toe-to-toe against Manchester United and got a draw, we went toe-to-toe with Liverpool and got the win”.
Paul M. Banks owns, operates and sometimes writes The Sports Bank.net, which is partnered with FOX Sports Engage Network. We have been good this year and started really well. “We need to make sure we capitalise on that”.
“There are many games, but the Europa League is not a problem for English teams”, said Klopp after the 1-0 win in Kazan, relayed by the Press Association (via This Is Anfield).
