Liverpool beat Crystal Palace three one at Selhurst Park

Goals sealed the result late

Alexis Mac Allister scored in the forty minute before Florian Wirtz added a second in the fifty fourth minute. Alexander Isak made it three for Liverpool in the eighty ninth minute of play. Substitute Eddie Nketiah scored from the penalty spot in the ninety fifth minute to reduce the gap. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker made six saves during the first half to keep his team in the match.

Palace face managerial crisis

The victory moves Liverpool up to fourth place in the table after back to back defeats at Arsenal and Fenerbahce. Jamie Carragher stated that Pierre Sage will likely be sacked following this fourth defeat in a row without scoring. Frank de Boer was previously dismissed after losing four games consecutively without finding a winning result for his club.

Key moments defined the game

Quinten Timber lost Mac Allister at a free kick five minutes before half time allowing the Argentina international to head in. Yeremy Pino hit the bar through Palace efforts while Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada tested Alisson Becker later. Milos Kerkez was judged to have fouled substitute Dario Osorio in the box leading to the penalty decision.
