Crystal Palace took the lead early in the game when Eberehi Eze found the back of the net, leaving the home crowd stunned.
Despite Liverpool’s efforts to equalize before halftime, including Wataru Endo’s close attempt hitting the bar, they failed to capitalize on their chances.
The visitors posed a threat themselves, with Andy Robertson making a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Crystal Palace from extending their lead.
Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson, kept his side in the game with some important saves in the second half, but they could not find a breakthrough.
