Crystal Palace is set to part ways with manager Pierre Sage just hours after its brutal 3-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool, according to reports this evening.
The South London club started the weekend in the bottom three and has sunk even further into 20th place after Sunday's result. Despite starting brightly against the Reds at Selhurst Park, Palace fell behind before halftime courtesy of an Alexis Mac Allister goal. After the break, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak both added to the Reds' tally to put the result beyond doubt.
Palace was awarded a mere consolation in the closing stages of the game after Milos Kerkez was penalized for a challenge in the box. Eddie Nketiah converted from the spot, but it meant very little as the Eagles succumbed to yet another league defeat.
