Jürgen Klopp’s men have posted a series of controlled successes to top the table but had to secure a result in much different fashion against the Eagles at Anfield.
The Reds trailed 1-0 after 45 minutes and were pegged back when they overturned the score with two quickfire goals in the second half.
Further strikes from Mohamed Salah and Mane put Liverpool clear, though Max Meyer’s finish set up a tense final minute with the hosts down to 10 men due to James Milner’s dismissal.
