Liverpool 4 – Crystal Palace 3

Anfield staged an epic match on Saturday in the Premier League as Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 4-3.

Crystal Palace recently beat Man City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium to hand Liverpool a huge boost in the title race.

However the Eagles threatened to spoil Liverpool’s championship hopes when Andros Townsend opened the scoring in the first half.

The game exploded in the second period.

Mo Salah drew the Reds level, while Roberto Firmino put the home side 2-1 up. But Palace equalised 2-2 thanks to a James Tomkins header.

Liverpool added further goals from Salah and Sadio Mane to establish a 4-2 lead.

In the final minutes of the match Max Meyer scored Palace’s third. However the Reds hung on for the points.

Danny Murphy: Liverpool vs Man City

On Match of the Day on the BBC, pundit Danny Murphy gave his latest thoughts on the which club will win the title.

Murphy, of course, used to play for Liverpool in his heyday.

For the former Crewe graduate, Liverpool’s win over Crystal Palace was huge.

Indeed, Murphy believes the win over the Eagles will prove to be the moment Liverpool won the league ahead of Man City:

Today was the day I have actually really gone all in on Liverpool to win the league. I believe they are going to do it.

I am thinking the last minute winner against Everton, the bit of luck with the deflections today (against Crystal Palace), things are going their way.

And they have only got Spurs and Chelsea at home who you would fancy them to beat and Manchester United and Everton away which are the tricky ones.

But I think with Liverpool’s fixtures and City’s fixtures, Liverpool are strong favourites.
