Liverpool and Manchester United still have a direct confrontation at Old Trafford. |
3 points at home helped Liverpool rise to 4th place, level with MU (58) but having played one more game, and also ahead of the team in 6th place by 8 points. At this point, the door to the Champions League for the Merseyside team is wide open.
Despite losing to Crystal Palace three times this season, Arne Slot's side started the match with confidence. In the 20th minute, VAR denied Mohamed Salah a penalty, but the "The Kop" fans didn't have to wait long. Alexander Isak broke the deadlock with a delicate control and finish from Alexis Mac Allister's effort in the 35th minute.
The drama intensified as the visiting team launched a strong comeback. Substitute goalkeeper Freddie Woodman had some brilliant moments, making consecutive saves to deny shots from Mateta and Lacroix. Immediately after those saves, Liverpool launched a lightning-fast counter-attack. Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones combined seamlessly to set up Andy Robertson, who finished past Dean Henderson in the 40th minute.

Liverpool broke their losing streak against Crystal Palace. |
The second half saw relentless efforts from Oliver Glasner's team. Palace rekindled hope with a goal from Daniel Munoz after a chaotic situation following Woodman's injury. However, the cruelty of football struck Jorgen Strand Larsen when he hit the post in his final chance to equalize.
In injury time, Florian Wirtz capped off a superb performance with a powerful shot into the far corner, securing a 3-1 victory. However, Liverpool's joy was short-lived as Mohamed Salah had to leave the field due to a muscle injury.
