Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 as Eddie Nketiah smashed in a late winner at Selhurst Park.
Sources told Football Insider that Marc Guehi blames Liverpool for the transfer collapse on deadline day.
Despite Oliver Glasner revealing what Guehi said to him in the aftermath of the deal falling through, he started again for the Eagles.
Sources also told Football Insider that Liverpool will be blocked from signing Adam Wharton as Palace vie to hold on to him.

He was superb in goal for Palace with excellent reactions and a swagger which instils confidence in his rearguard despite losing the clean sheet late on.

The Japan international has struggled to adapt to life in England and the same worrying trend continued today as he was bombarded by the fury of the Reds’ attack.
The number 18 was loose with the ball and frequently lost possession which would have frustrated his manager.
Another one of Glasner’s reliable men, the left-back constantly offered himself moving forward as well as showing endurance in tracking back.
Back into the side and back amongst the goals, the Senegalese looked back to his best after missing the last few games through injury as he netted the opener.

More is still to come from the young Spaniard who has the potential to be an excellent piece of business from Steve Parish and co.
The former Villarreal speedster worked hard behind Jean-Philippe Mateta and will become a mainstay in the Palace attack.
The Frenchman had a plethora of chances that weren’t taken and could’ve put the result beyond doubt if he was more clinical.
Mateta missed three big chances as well as hitting the woodwork on what was a frustrating afternoon.

Came on midway through the second half and did little to impact proceedings.
The Colombian came on for the promising Yeremy Pino as another late change by Glasner.
The former Arsenal man was brought on for the match winner Ismaila Sarr to help give some legs and protect the lead as he picked up a yellow card for being overeager on a tackle.
Yet, he proved to be decisive by bagging the winning goal for the Eagles in the dying moments of the game, simply remarkable.
One to monitor for the future but had hardly any time to influence the game off the bench.
