- Palace lost their fourth league match in a row.

## Summary

Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3–1 in south London, ending a run of two defeats and easing pressure after their loss to Arsenal and a midweek Champions League defeat. Alexander Isak scored late to complete the trio, while Palace’s fourth consecutive league defeat deepened concerns about the club’s position.

Alexis Mac Allister headed Liverpool ahead late in the first half, and Florian Wirtz made it 2–0 after the break. Palace had threatened earlier, with Jeremy Pino hitting the crossbar, but created little after Wirtz’s goal; Eddie Nketiah’s late penalty was their first goal in the four-match losing run. The report points to recruitment problems and Ismaïla Sarr’s injury as factors in Palace’s struggles.
