Overview
- Liverpool, which won 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday, rose to fourth and sit eight points clear of sixth with four matches left.
- Alexander Isak opened the scoring before Andy Robertson doubled the lead and Florian Wirtz added a stoppage-time third to secure the points.
- Third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, starting because Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili are injured, made several key saves including one that led directly to Robertson’s goal.
- Daniel Munoz’s 71st-minute goal stood even though Woodman was down injured, and a Liverpool fan later threw a spare ball that struck the Palace defender as tensions flared.
- Managers split on the call, with Arne Slot saying the referee should have stopped play and Oliver Glasner defending the decision as fair because Woodman finished the match, while Mohamed Salah’s apparent hamstring injury added a fresh worry about his run-in to a confirmed summer exit.
