Liverpool were dealt a major blow in their pursuit of their 20th Premier League title as Crystal Palace shocked them at Anfield on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze\u2019s early goal, converted from Tyrick Mitchell\u2019s cut-back, set the tone for the match, leaving the visitors in front at halftime.<\/p>\n

Despite Liverpool\u2019s second-half pressure, their finishing woes persisted, reminiscent of recent games against Manchester United and Atalanta.<\/p>\n

The defeat, Liverpool\u2019s first league loss at home since October 2022, leaves them trailing leaders Manchester City by two points and level with Arsenal who later take on Aston Villa on Sunday.<\/p>\n

While Liverpool dominated possession and chances, Palace remained dangerous on the counter-attack. Dean Henderson\u2019s stellar saves frustrated Liverpool\u2019s attempts, including a remarkable stop from Darwin Nunez and denying Diogo Jota\u2019s close-range effort.<\/p>\n

Despite a late surge from Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah\u2019s effort blocked in stoppage time, they couldn\u2019t find the equaliser.<\/p>\n

The defeat marks back-to-back losses for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men at Anfield haven falling to Atlanata 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final clash in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Their next opportunity to reverse this trend comes in Bergamo for the Europa League second leg on Thursday, April 18, 2024, where they will strive for their first win in four games.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Crystal Palace emerge as the more jubilant team, securing a Premier League victory after a six-game drought. This triumph also marks the Eagles\u2019 first win over the Reds since April 2017, a notable milestone achieved once again at Anfield.<\/p>\n

With 33 points from 32 games, Palace currently occupy the 14th spot on the table, boasting an eight-point cushion from the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
