A guard of honour was formed ahead of the match for the Reds captain, who will join LA Galaxy this summer after a 17-year career in Merseyside, but it will be the Palace’s players who will receive the high-fives on their return to the capital.
Adam Lallana goal after 26 minutes had given Brendan Rodgers’ side the lead, one which they looked certain to carry through to half-time before Palace struck back.
Jason Puncheon’s free kick somehow bamboozled somehow bamboozled Simon Mignolet in the Liverpool goal, and Palace were level at the interval.
