Eberechi Eze struck early to inflict Liverpool’s first home league defeat since 2022 and deliver a major blow to Jurgen Klopp’s dream of leaving with the Premier League title.
Eze capitalised on Liverpool’s recent record of slow starts to convert after 14 minutes and Palace withstood a home barrage for the remainder of the afternoon.
Wataru Endo struck the woodwork, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones missed gilt-edged chances and Eagles goalkeeper Dean Henderson saved brilliantly from Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah.
