The National Sport front page on Sunday February 15 focuses on Adam Lallana of Liverpool, who along with teammate Daniel Sturridge, helped lead their team in a 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The win secured an FA Cup quarter-final spot for Liverpool.

Their Premier League title challenge ran aground in a 3-3 draw at Palace last season and they lost 3-1 there in November, while Fraizer Campbell’s 15th-minute opener suggested a similar outcome was in store.

But the half-time introduction of Mario Balotelli tipped the tie in the visitors’ favour and after Sturridge equalised, Lallana scored in the 58th-minute to give Liverpool a first win at Palace since 1997.
