Former England captain Alan Shearer says Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi outshone Ibrahima Konate for Saturday's win against Liverpool.

Palace blocked Guehi from joining Liverpool on transfer deadline day - and the decision paid off with the weekend win.

“It was a big thing keeping Marc Guehi because he was the outstanding defender,” Shearer said on The Rest Is Football Podcast.

“And you can understand exactly why Liverpool wanted to sign him, as well as other clubs but also why (Oliver) Glasner and Palace wanted to keep him so badly.

“He (Konate) was, he got robbed two or three times and they should've scored with a couple of his errors.

“But it's a bit of a concern for Liverpool, defensively they've not been great at all, the chances and the way Palace went through them with ease, it was so easy for them at times. It would be a big concern.”
