Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes suffered a huge blow as they were beaten 1-0 at Anfield by Crystal Palace.

The Reds missed the chance to return to the top of the Premier League, as Eberechi Eze’s first-half strike gave the visitors a much-needed victory to move them eight points clear of the relegation zone

Palace were winless in their 13 previous Premier League meetings with Liverpool. However, a positive start at Anfield saw them take a 14th-minute lead when Tyrick Mitchell cut the ball back for an unmarked Eze to slot past Alisson.

The Eagles almost doubled their lead four minutes later when Virgil van Dijk’s slip allowed Jean-Philippe Mateta to race clear on goal and dink over the onrushing Alisson, but Andrew Robertson did magnificently to clear off the line.

Liverpool sought a response as Wataru Endo hit the crossbar and Luis Diaz’s acrobatic volley was kept out by Dean Henderson, who also did well to block a fierce Darwin Nunez strike after the break.

The Reds dominated proceedings in the second half but, try as they may, the equaliser continued to elude them.

Nathaniel Clyne and Mitchell denied Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah on the line, while Curtis Jones sent a golden chance wide as the destiny of the Premier League title slipped from their hands.

Try as they may, Liverpool just cannot find that equaliser and it is looking increasingly likely that Palace will hang on.

The ball drops to Salah in the six-yard box, but his goalbound volley is somehow turned away by Mitchell.

Seven minutes have been added on by the referee.

Liverpool have time, but need to produce the goods soon.

Palace make their final change with Edouard coming on in place of Mateta.

The hosts turn up the pressure as the clock ticks down.

Elliott meets Gakpo's deep cross at the far post, but Henderson is there to block his header.

Liverpool make their fifth and final change as Jones makes way to be replaced by Elliott.

Liverpool will certainly hope that continues to be the case today.

The Reds have found the net 27 times in the minutes between 76 and 90 in the Premier League this season, more than any other side.

Glasner freshens things up for Palace with not one, nor two, but three changes.

Ward, Riedewald and Schlupp come on with Clyne, Hughes and Eze making way.

Liverpool can suddenly counter and Jones is bearing down on goal.

He only has Henderson to beat, but sends his shot wide much to the disbelief of their fans.

It is just not happening for them at the moment.

How did Alisson keep that out?!

A long free-kick into the Liverpool box is flicked on by Andersen, but Mateta's volley from three yards out is somehow deflected over by the Brazilian's outstretched arm.

Liverpool steadily make their way into the box and Hughes' intervention inadvertently puts the ball on a plate for Szoboszlai.

With Henderson out of goal, he squares it for Jota, who is somehow denied by Clyne's superb block.

You can hear the groans around Anfield as Jones is penalised for tripping Ayew.

The Liverpool midfielder goes into the book.

Liverpool push for the equaliser and force a corner as Andersen turns a cross behind.

Szoboszlai's centre is met by Van Dijk, but Jota cannot quite stretch enough to apply the finishing touch at the far post.

The visitors also make a change with Olise given a rest and replaced by Ayew.

Klopp turns to the bench as he introduces Jota and Gakpo for the final quarter of this match.

Nunez and Diaz are the players to make way.

Liverpool counter from a quickly taken free-kick and Salah tees up the onrushing Alexander-Arnold, who cannot keep his first-time effort down.

Liverpool still trail with 30 minutes left at Anfield.

The Reds are enjoying plenty of possession, but need to be more clinical as the clock ticks down.
