Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal of the season as Liverpool defeated struggling Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park. Alexander Isak added extra gloss with Liverpool's third goal of the afternoon in the final minute of normal time.

Comfortably Liverpool's best player and would have deserved his clean sheet but for a contentious penalty decision.Booked for a wild tackle on the stretch as he chased his own first touch, which was symptomatic of a poor first 45 minutes in attack and defence. But was great in the build-up to Wirtz's goal and defended solidly once Liverpool had a lead to defend, thwarting goalscorer Nketiah in one chance.Jeremy Jacquet - 6Fortunate Yeremy Pino's effort hit the crossbar after leaving the forward in space but generally defended spaces well and wasn't phased by the strength of Jorgen Strand Larsen.Virgil van Dijk - 6One good block on Strand Larsen whom he tussled repeatedly with in a busy first half.

Wore a knee brace in the second half after a knock before half-time.Florian Wirtz - 7Good pass into Barcola and then had a shot deflected over the crossbar all in one move. Denied a second late on by Henderson before selflessly assisting Isak's goal.Cody Gakpo - 6Needed a team-mate to show more goalscoring instinct when he put the ball dangerously across the six-yard box and won the free-kick that Liverpool went 1-0 up from.Bradley Barcola - 6A really poor first half in which he wasted Liverpool's best chance from open play with a horrible volley that he skied into the stratosphere.
