Liverpool 3-1 Palace

Liverpool 3-1 Palace

Crystal Palace were defeated 3-1 against Liverpool at Anfield.

Liverpool took the lead on 35 minutes when Alexander Isak finished from close range after Palace were unable to clear inside the box.

Five minutes later Andy Robertson made it 2–0, firing home after Freddie Woodman had produced a fine save to deny Jean-Philippe Mateta at the other end.

Palace pulled one back in unusual circumstances on 71 minutes when Daniel Munoz scored while Liverpool goalkeeper Woodman was down injured, with play allowed to continue.

Jorgen Strand Larsen then came close to an equaliser, striking the post as Palace pushed for a way back into the game.

Liverpool sealed the win in stoppage time when Florian Wirtz drove in their third.
