Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is pleased to snap their Crystal Palace hoodoo after victory in the FA Cup last night.
A win on the road banished memories of recent visits to Selhurst Park for Rodgers and his side, who relinquished a three-goal advantage in May 2014 and were beaten 3-1 in the capital in November last year.
"We were at a real low point at that time," Rodgers told liverpoolfc.com.
"Players were still trying to adapt to the pressures of playing for Liverpool and the expectancy of how the team had been developing for a couple of years.
"I needed to find a way to make it work. We had to arrest a negative momentum and then try to get the team back to playing with the intensity and the aggression that it had done for two years.
"After the game here at Palace, we had to have an intervention and we did that. Now the team has real confidence. It was ironic coming back here, getting the victory and putting in a really good performance in a difficult place."
