Benitez unhappy with Palace's physical approach

Angry Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez dropped a strong hint that he believed Crystal Palace had used over-physical tactics to beat his team 1-0 at Selhurst Park.

Palace moved out of the bottom three in the Premiership thanks to a 35th-minute goal from Andrew Johnson – his 20th of the season – as Benitez’s side fell further behind Merseyside rivals Everton in the race for the final Champions League qualifying spot.
