Match Highlights
29′. Van Dijk sees yellow for that trip.
The VAR check deems it was a foul on Endo and so the penalty decision is overturned and Van Dijk’s yellow is revoked.
37′. Diaz nudges the ball beyond Ward and gets hauled back by the defender, who gets a yellow.
57′. 1:0. Penalty. Mateta steps up and calmly beats Alisson as the goalkeeper dives the other way.
60′. Ayew is shown the yellow card.
64′. Lerma sees yellow for pulling back Gomez.
71′. Richards is shown yellow for a tug on Gakpo.
76′. Crystal Palace are down to 10 after Jordan Ayew received his second yellow just moments before the Liverpool leveller.
76′. 1:1. GOAL! Mo Salah! 200 Liverpool goals for the Egyptian! Gomez clips in an across to Gakpo and the Netherlands striker cross to the far post. The ball drops for Jones and he lays the ball off to Salah before being cleaned out. The Reds don’t need a penalty, though, as Salah’s shot deflects off Clyne and finds the corner.
90+1′. 1:2. GOAL! Elliott! Get in! Elliott beats one man about 25 yards from goal then strikes sweetly to the keeper’s left into the bottom-right corner.
90+8′. Andersen goes into the book.
90+9′. Gomez is shown the yellow card for a slightly late tackle in the opposition half.
90+10′. Diaz now goes into the book.
90+12′. Ahamada sees yellow.
The result sends Liverpool top of the Premier League table. That’s 18 points the Reds have won from losing positions in the Premier League this season.
