Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones had great chances to equalize, but were unforgivably wasted in front of goal.

Palace could have secured the points late on but Jean-Philippe Mateta was surprisingly denied by Alisson from just six yards out.

Even so, Liverpool still failed to find an equalizer and lost three points that could be crucial in the title race.

The result, Liverpool’s first home defeat of the season, leaves Jurgen Klopp’s men two points behind Manchester City and behind Arsenal on goal difference.

The game in hand for Mikel Arteta’s team comes at home to Aston Villa on Sunday night.
