A first-half goal by Eze was enough to give Crystal Palace a 1-0 victory at Anfield to cap a damaging week for Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp
Eberechi Eze scores the only goal of the game to give Crystal Palace a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield.Eberechi Eze scores the only goal of the game to give Crystal Palace a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield.The immediate reaction to the final whistle painted the picture of a truly damaging week for Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp hugged a victoriousmanager, Oliver Glasner, before puffing out his cheeks and shaking his head.
Klopp had promised a reaction to the shock Europa League defeat by Atalanta. Instead, Liverpool served up more of the same throughout a poor first-half display. They were again lethargic, sloppy in possession and lacking concentration in defence. The malaise even afflicted Alisson, and he was making his first start since injuring a hamstring against Arsenal in February. Palace prospered from the lapses and were full value for an interval lead that could and should have been greater.
Robertson was the one Liverpool player to hit the level required in the first half. Endo scooped a corner from the left-back against the Palace crossbar when it fell at his feet inside a crowded six-yard box. The Scotland captain also delivered a superb cross to the back post for Luis Díaz, whose acrobatic volley was tipped over by Dean Henderson. The Palace keeper almost presented Liverpool with an equaliser when hesitating over a routine through ball.
