Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League title were severely damaged when they unexpectedly lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Oliver Glasner’s team’s early advantage was secured by Eberechi Eze. Although Jurgen Klopp’s team made a valiant effort to equalize, their profligacy in front of goal proved costly, with Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, and Mohamed Salah among those guilty.
Palace had opportunities to take the lead, with Jean-Philippe 1111 Mateta seeing one shot brilliantly saved by returning Alisson and another cleared off the line by Andy Robertson, but they were not in need of a second. With three points, they surpass Brentford and move into 14th
But Liverpool will suffer more serious repercussions. This was an opportunity to get back to the top of the Premier League table, having started the day in third place. Rather than keeping up the pace, they run the risk of losing steam, making Klopp’s last season potentially disastrous.
