Liverpool players celebrate Sadio Mane's late goal |
Mohamed salah scored his fiftieth Premier League goal as liverpool came from behind to defeat a resolute Crystal Palace in an exceedingly seven-goal adventure story at Anfield.
The Reds dominated the overwhelming majority of the first half however it absolutely was the visitors who bust the deadlock through Andros townsend, who beat Alisson from close range after Wilfried Zaha pulled a cross back.
But the hosts came out for the second period with goals on the agenda, and it took only 1 minute for salah to equalise before they went ahead seven minutes later through Roberto Firmino.
Palace weren't down and out just yet, though, and James Tomkins capitalised on poor defending to head his team level from a corner.
However a calamitous error by Julian Speroni - making his first appearance since Dec 2017 - handed Liverpool an advantage they did not relinquish again, the visitors' keeper scooping the ball towards his own goal post for salah to poke in from on the line.
Sadio Mane scored the fourth in stoppage time, simply after James Milner had been sent off for 2 yellow-card fouls on Palace's Wilfried Zaha - though there was still time for max Meyer to score a consolation for the visitors.
