But Salah had assumed the defender would clear, and so makes his move towards the ball too late. And with that, this report comes to a close. Had the Liverpool midfielder not won that, his team were a bit light at the back. “He’s probably the best Premier League free-kick taker in history, the comparison is obviously really nice but there’s still a lot of work to do to get to his level.” Sky then move on to the subject of winning the league. Liverpool beat Palace, one game from title. 90 min +1: In the first of three added minutes, Williams splits the Palace defence with a sliderule ball down the right channel.

It was a difficult game for us, we were quite disappointed to only get the draw on Sunday, but the first game back at Anfield couldn’t have gone any better for us. Stand-in captain Kouyate makes way for regular chief Milivojevic, while McArthur is replaced by Riedewald. “Naby Keïta doesn’t have an Umlaut,” writes our other old linguistic pal Steve Coombs. I liked it! An extremely content Trent Alexander-Arnold speaks. They get a breather after Van Aanholt is clipped by Henderson and requires a quick wipe down with the magic sponge. Ayew’s race is run, and he’s replaced by Pierrick. It’s well struck but always rising over the bar. 82 min: Williams makes good down the right and pulls back for Salah, who nearly executes a defence-splitting one-two with Minamino. Salah tries to find his team-mate with an outside-of-boot flick, but Hennessey interjects with a strong hand. How did he miss? Game very much over. Others will assume this is over now.

Four flatters Palace. But obviously we know a lot can happen. We’re in a good position and hopefully we’ll be able to get across the line very soon.”.

An unwanted record for Palace, but they’ll probably be relieved to have kept the score down to four, so it’s swings and roundabouts with the old numbers. A proper toe-stub. Relief for Palace, who looked a little open for a second there. Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace (Salah 44), GOAL! Fine work by Mane out on the left to tee him up. “He does, however, have a diaeresis.”. Even if it had been on target, there was a fair chance either Hennessey or Cahill was getting back to hook clear. It would have been amazing! The Premier League trophy could be in their hands this time tomorrow night, if Manchester City fail to win at Chelsea. So much for Palace’s blessed relief. Obviously I’ve been practising a lot.” He’s told Jamie Carragher has described his free kick as Beckhamesque, which went down well. They’ve been staggeringly dominant. Palace get the second half underway. His low fizzer is always heading wide right, and it looked like Alisson had it covered anyway. 68 min: Townsend has a look down the right but there’s nothing doing. Jules Winnfield Nothing much happens in added time, and there goes the whistle. This was a reaction and I liked the game so much. 78 min: Mane tries to blast his way into space down the left.

First Firmino nearly opens them up down the inside-right channel, but can’t execute a backflick that would tee up one of several team-mates. But it was perfectly judged and Mane was away. 42 min: Palace take their first shot in anger, Meyer latching onto a loose Gomez header and dribbling with purpose towards the Liverpool box. We’re happy with the win. Liverpool were superb. An eye-opening stat courtesy of Sky and Opta: this is the first time since records began in 2008 that a team hasn’t had a single touch in the opposition box. Had he delayed at all, Mane would have had to check his run or be caught offside. This scoreline doesn’t flatter Liverpool; in fact they’ll wonder how they haven’t scored one or two more. 53 min: Fabinho nicks the ball off Meyer. All rights reserved. So I have said before, I would like to see some of the best games behind closed doors ever, because we don’t want to have them that often. The lads have done really well.
