Alan Pardew: 'We were excellent against Liverpool'

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has praised his side following their 3-1 win away at Liverpool this evening.

The home team took the lead through Adam Lallana, but Palace hit back through a Jason Puncheon free kick.

In the second half, the South London side went ahead when Wilfried Zaha fired the ball home from close range, before Glenn Murray wrapped up the points in added time.

Pardew told BBC Sport: "Against Manchester United and Chelsea we were excellent. We played at the same level today and the breaks fell our way.

"The balance of the side was held by Marouane Chamakh and well supported by the runners in midfield. Yannick Bolasie has that power and fear factor in him that scares defenders and it was a really top performance from him and us."

Palace sit 12th in the Premier League table ahead of next weekend's final round of fixtures.
