“I think our first-half was fantastic,” Andersen said in his post-match interview. “Of course, when you're 1-0 up at Anfield it's always going to be a difficult second-half.
“They're going to push and the pressure is on them, and they have to win today to keep on top. I think Hendo [Dean Henderson] made some brilliant saves, and everyone defended like we've been talking about the whole week.
"You could see there were a lot of players having problems at the end! A couple of players wanted to get subbed but I don't think the manager would allow that in the last five minutes! I think that's a good sign of how much work, how much running and how much desire we put into it today. That gave us the three points today.
“It was a fantastic team performance.”
Palace had performed admirably against Manchester City last weekend without reward, and Andersen says today’s performance was in the same vein – but this time Palace could claim the three points they so deserved.
“I think the last game we did, it was a little bit similar: the first-half we did well, and then I think City were a little bit more clinical,” Andersen explained. “Today, Liverpool also had some chances.
“It's impossible not to concede any chances against world-class teams, and then you need some luck, you need some quality to defend it, to save the balls.
“We didn't do that against City but we did that today.”
