Liverpool win at Palace to climb into Premier League top four
Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3–1 at Selhurst Park to return to winning ways and move into fourth place, while Palace slipped to the foot of the table.
Mac Allister headed Liverpool in front five minutes before half-time, rising above Quinten Timber to meet Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick. Wirtz doubled the lead early in the second half, finishing a cross from Bradley Barcola, and it was his first Premier League goal of the season.
Wirtz then turned provider in the 89th minute, setting up Isak to score from the centre of the penalty area. Palace pulled one back in added time, when Nketiah converted a penalty after Milos Kerkez conceded it with a late challenge.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker was key to Liverpool's win, stopping chances from Daichi Kamada and Adam Wharton in a first half where Palace also hit the woodwork. The defeat was Palace's fourth straight in the league, adding pressure on manager Pierre Sage.
