    FT: Liverpool 4-0 C Palace!! All over at Anfield in what was never really a contest. Zaha went off injured early on, TAA's lovely free-kick and Salah's goal just before HT gave Palace a mountain to climb. In the second period, Fabinho and Mane got on the scoresheet and Salah and Williams could have even made it five. Liverpool fully deserved the win and could be champions tomorrow. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!
