Crystal Palace vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Diogo Jota secures testing win

A solid half from Liverpool with Diogo Jota sending the visitors ahead. Can they see out this game in the second half?

45+2 mins: A lovely first half for Liverpool despite conceding a goal that eventually got chalked off. Palace had a chance to equalise right at the end of the half as Ismaila Sarr drew a stop out of Alisson.

Diogo Jota’s goal is the only difference as it stands with Liverpool dominating most of the proceedings.

45 mins: Just the two minutes to play before half-time. The good news for Palace is that they’re only down by one goal and are still in the match.

42 mins: A fine pass out wide to Mo Salah gets Liverpool high up the pitch once again. Salah lays the ball back to Alexander-Arnold who knocks it across to Mac Allister.

He lays it off to Tsimikas who runs onto a first time shot and drills an effort at goal which is deflected out of play.

39 mins: Liverpool continue to be inventive. They work their way down the left and find Gakpo. He flicks a pass into the box as Mac Allister darts in behind Guehi.

The defender stands tall and turns the ball behind for a corner.

Virgil van Dijk is the target this time and runs towards the near post. He wins the header but sends the effort over the top.

36 mins: Miss!

A quick transition from Liverpool sees them pick out Mo Salah on the right side of the pitch. He carries the ball up to the penalty area and combines with Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The right-back takes the ball into the box and passes to Diogo Jota who attempts a simple side footed effort but gets it all wrong and turns the ball well wide of the target.

33 mins: Curtis Jones is given a warning from the referee after a heavy tackle in the middle of the pitch and avoids any harsh punishment.

Instead Eze floats a free kick into the penalty area and wins a corner as the Liverpool defence flick the ball out of play. Eze is on set piece duty once again but can’t find a teammate.

30 mins: Half an hour played at Selhurst Park and Liverpool have already had five corners with the most recent being easily dealt with once more.

There’s a dynamic and intense feel to Liverpool’s play, it’s almost as though they want to smother Palace and give them no time to think or operate.

27 mins: Joe Cole on TNT Sports punditry says that Crystal Palace need to do something different or else the game will run away from them.

He’s right, Liverpool are dominating possession and Palace can barely hold onto the ball for more than a minute or two. Trent Alexander-Arnold shoots and draws a low save out of Dean Henderson.

“After Palace’s false start, they simply haven’t been able to string a few passes together and the crowd are starting to get a little irate at the lack of ability to move the ball forward through midfield.

“The loss of Munoz to injury is another blow, given how well he fits the role of being an outlet down the flank - and being quicker than Clyne too, for keeping up with Gakpo’s runs out wide.

“Liverpool are finding it too easy to get the ball into Salah’s feet so far and both Mac Allister and Jones are getting into the box with regularity. A second doesn’t feel all that far away.”
