Under-pressure Eagles boss Pierre Sage's side showed promise in the first half, when they had a goal chalked off for offside, hit the crossbar, and forced Alisson Becker into several good saves. Alexander Isak added to the visitors’ lead in the 89th minute, but Andoni Iraola’s side were denied a clean sheet after Eddie Nketiah scored a stoppage-time penalty.

Alexander Isak added to Liverpool's lead in the 89th minute The visitors got to work quickly, calling Dean Henderson into a low save with a Mac Allister effort in the first minute. Strand Larsen, who had just been denied a shot after some good work by Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez to close in, had the ball in the back of Alisson’s net in the 33rd minute.

Palace had a huge chance with just under 15 minutes remaining when Timber’s replacement, Dario Osorio, squared to Pino. Henderson made a big stop to deny Isak with less than five minutes remaining, but he could not keep out the Sweden striker a second time when his close-range effort took a deflection and looped over the Palace keeper.
