Iraola praised Allison for demonstrating his outstanding abilities.

Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 in the 10th round of the Premier League, thanks to goals from McAllister, Wirtz, and Isak. Andoni Iraola stated that his team absolutely needed the victory and praised goalkeeper Alisson for his outstanding performance.

In the 40th minute, Szoboszlai took a free kick, and McAllister headed it into the net, giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead. In the 54th minute of the second half, Barkola passed the ball across the box, and Wirtz slotted it home from inside the penalty area, extending Liverpool's lead over Crystal Palace to 2-0.

In the 89th minute, Wirtz passed the ball from the penalty area, and Isak followed up with a shot to score, extending Liverpool's lead to 3-0. In second-half stoppage time, Kelkez Milos fouled Dario Osorio in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty for Crystal Palace. Nketiah subsequently converted the penalty, pulling Crystal Palace back to 1-3.

Liverpool ultimately defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola said, "We really needed this win, especially after the defeat in Turkey a few days ago. Coming to a stadium like this, we have to find a way to win. So I'm very happy to get these three points."

“I think the first half was quite close, with both sides having chances to score. One of Alisson's saves was crucial for us. Our first goal was also very important, as it allowed us to go into halftime with the lead.”

Speaking about goalkeeper Alisson's performance, Andoni Iraola said, "I'm really very satisfied. He not only made some fantastic saves in the first half, especially those that were crucial, but he also handled Jeremy Pino's one-on-one opportunity exceptionally well when we were leading 2-0."

Happy for Wirtz's goal

"In addition, Alisson's control of the penalty area is also excellent. In this game, a lot of things usually happen in the penalty area. Due to the relatively small pitch area, it is easy to find opposing players in your penalty area very quickly, but he fully demonstrated his ability."

Regarding Isak's goal for Liverpool again, Andoni Iraola said, "Isak scored a goal and also had a one-on-one chance against the goalkeeper, but unfortunately he couldn't take it. But I told him that I appreciated his run when Wirtz scored even more. He made a great run to the near post, leaving Wirtz with a lot of space, and Barkola handled that attack very well as well."

“We need this kind of teamwork between teammates, not just when scoring goals. Sometimes, players need to sacrifice their own opportunities for their teammates, like in the attack where Victor Muñoz participated. They were selfless in crucial moments. So, Isak's goal again was well-deserved.”

In addition, German midfielder Wirtz also had a standout performance in this match.

Andoni Iraola said, "I'm very happy for him because he's been a bit unlucky in the Premier League, with several of his goals being disallowed. He helped the team in this game by contributing to making it 2-0, and he played exceptionally well throughout the match, so I'm very happy for him."
