Start of match

End of match

  • 90'
    Palace have, understandably, not shown up to the majority of the second half but the scoreline is not reflective of the teams' first-half performances. 0-7 final score in what is a historic win for Liverpool away from home.
  • 87 '
    GOAL SALAH! Now that is more like it. That was one for the highlights as the Egyptian scores one of those world-beaters we saw in the first half! Great touch on the corner of the area sees him strike into the far corner.
  • 83'
    Liverpool look happy to pad their passing stats as they run down the clock in what has ended up being an emphatic rout.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 81' (Liverpool)
  • 81 '
    Salah gets his! Just a simple header from a corner to see the game out. You almost have to feel sorry for Palace at this point.
  • 78'
    Zaha delivers a great ball but it there was not a single Palace player in the box as opposed to the 7 or 8 Liverpool players... Liverpool have stepped up their game at the back in the second half without a doubt.
  • 76'
    Offside after a great ball into the box. That sums up Palace's offensive performance today full of promise, lacking precision...
  • 75'
    Jones knocks down Ayew and gives away a FK in the Liverpool half.
  • 74'
    Zaha runs early and hits the volley from a wide cross way over regardless of the flag.
  • 73 '
    The Ox looks like he will come on for Firmino shortly.
  • 71 '
    both sides make a change as Wijnaldum comes off for Jones for Liverpool.
  • 67 '
    Firmino makes it two for his count today with a little chip over the keeper after Liverpool attack from their own half with a long ball and catch Palace with their pants down. Another clinical finish from Liverpool, perhaps not as impressive to look at.
  • 64'
    Van Aanholt hits the half-volley just wide from a tough angle at the edge of the box. It would have given Liverpool a run for their money in terms of style but it wasn't meant to be.
  • 63'
    Palace look well and truly finished off and you can't blame them. They have played well and have absolutely nothing to show for their efforts. Not even a consolation goal as things stand and they look less and less likely to pull one back as the match progresses.
  • 58'
    Minamino almost makes it 5! He probably should have. A rare miss today from a deadly Liverpool side. He rolled it just wide after being found by a great low pass into the area.
  • 56 '
    Mané not happy that he's being subbed for Salah. He already had his screamer, let Salah have his!
  • 54'
    Palace starting to look a little deflated now. They fought back hard in the first half but what can be done against such quality finishing?
  • 53'
    Four beautiful finishes from Liverpool today do not reflect the performance from Palace today who have performed admirably. Guaita has had no chance to stop any of these beauties.
  • 51 '
    LIVERPOOL GOAL: Henderson scores an absolute screamer. AA lays it off to Henderson in space at the edge of the area who hits it first time and curls it into the far corner.
  • 48'
    I count 8 men in the Liverpool box to quell that quick Palace counterattack. Liverpool are not messing around anymore, they intend to keep a clean sheet today.
  • 46'
    Liverpool had three shots on target and three goals in the first half. The gap in individual quality of the two teams couldn't be more evident.
  • 46'
    We are off! Let's see how this one ends...
  • 45'
    HT: Nothing came of the FK at the end of the first hald. Three great goals from not many more chances from Liverpool! Compare that to Palace who have matched the Merseyside team's quality in terms of attacking threat but have had no precision when it counted. Liverpool's class has shone threw in a result that hasn't reflected how close the game has been.
  • 45'
    LIV FK on the edge of the area. Minamino was brought down and couldn't have been much closer to a penalty.
  • 43 '
    Excellent ball from Robertson who somehow finds Firmino in a surging run from way out wide. Great touch from Firmino in the box lets him finesse it into the corner with ease.
  • 41'
    Milivojevic brought down by Henderson. Didn't look to be much contact but Palace win a FK in their own half.
  • 39'
    Palace continue to threaten this defence, Schlupp is stopped by a great Robertson tackle in the box and puts it out for a corner.
  • 36'
    Liverpool ahead 0-2. Palace will be kicking themselves, not only for conceding early on, but also for not being more clinical with the chances that they have created against this Liverpool defence.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 35' (Liverpool)
  • 35 '
    LIVERPOOL GOAL: Mané's quick feet leave Palace stranded. Two or three deflections on the edge of the area later the ball falls to Mané who turns and bangs it in with great precision.
  • 30'
    Palace continue to beat Liverpool's defence running in behind them. They are just lacking a final pass or touch to be able to convert their great positioning into chances on goal.
  • 29'
    Liverpool corner well defended by Gary Cahill who came in from nowhere to stop Matip's header on goal.
  • 28'
    Ayew heads it straight at Alisson from a wide FK. Another great chance wasted.
  • 27'
    What started positively for Liverpool has since changed its tone. Palace are starting to run away with it in terms of attacking runs and possession in the opposing half.
  • 25'
    Liverpool trying to slow down the play against a Palace that have had every chance to equalise so far!
  • 22'
    Ayew tries to play on Zaha from inside the six-yard box but should have gone for the shot as he plays it behind his teammate.
  • 19'
    Milivojevic almost gets on to the end of the cross into the area from a FK but was just a tad off in his run. Palace creating good chances and looking sharp.
  • 17'
    Alisson races out to beat Zaha but his clearance goes skew-whiff Milijovijec goes for the chip. Alisson had time to get back on his line in time.
  • 14'
    Liverpool had a dominant 10 minutes to start the day but Crystal Palace have responded well to going 0-1 down and have evened up the game. Palace are giving the sensation that had they started so positively today things would at least still be level at Selhurst Park.
  • 13'
    Great cross across the 6-yard box cleared by Fabinho. Schlupp was on for an open goal tap in there. Good response from Crystal Palace in the last few minutes.
  • 10'
    Palace have had a couple of runs but Alisson has never been in any danger. Liverpool's defence is looking as confident as ever despite injury woes.
  • 8'
    Schlupp earns a corner for Palace after his low cross into a Zaha is blocked by Minamino.
  • 6'
    Great defending from Fabinho who saw off a Zaha sprint into the box with complete confidence.
  • 5'
    Robertson crosses it in but it was too high for Mané in the box. Liverpool showing a calm confidence so far. In total control of the game.
  • 3'
    A great goal with a lovely touch from Minamino, playing on the left hand side today, but Hodgson will be having a word with his side after there was several LIV attackers unmarked in the area.
  • 2 '
    LIVERPOOL GOAL: Minamino puts Liverpool ahead after a deft touch in the box beats a disorganised Palace defence. It was way too easy for him to get into that position. Minamino's first for Liverpool.
  • 1'
    And we are off! Will Liverpool go six points clear?

  • PRVW
    Klopp was full of praise for this Palace side. Lots of attacking potential on both sides of the pitch today.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool have won just one of their last six away games but are seven for seven at Anfield!
  • PRVW
    Liverpool enter today's game as firm favourites after coming off the back of a win against Mourinho's Tottenham. Although, the Reds' form away from home this season has left much to be desired.
  • PRVW
    Salah will start on the bench with Liverpool's attacking trident to be formed by Mané, Firmino, and Minamino. What attacking talent this side has to draw from.
  • PRVW
    LIVERPOOL XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Keita; Minamino, Firmino, Mane.
