Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 30 matches after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park on Saturday in a game defined by VAR-related controversy.
Palace had a first-half goal by James Tomkins ruled out when VAR deemed there had been a push on Dejan Lovren in the box. Liverpool made the most of the decision when Sadio Mane gave the Reds a 49th-minute lead.
However, Wilfried Zaha hit back for the Eagles with eight minutes to play, but there was still time for Firmino to make the decisive contribution when he pounced from inside the area in the 85th minute.
