Liverpool struggled to break down the home side until the second half when Mane received a ball from Firmino and his shot was deflected in off the upright. It was nothing more than what Liverpool deserved, but Palace refused to give up without a fight.

When Zaha scored the equalizer in the 82nd minute, it appeared as if Liverpool had met their match. The home side threatened to ruin Liverpool’s day and it appeared as if the Reds were slipping up. However, as has been the case in quite a few games this season, the league leaders showed their relentless side once again.

Liverpool needed a hero and up stepped Firmino to save his team. After a goal-mouth pin-ball contest, the ball fell at the feet of the Brazilian. Firmino made no mistake and put Liverpool ahead once again.

Liverpool have developed an impressive habit of scoring late goals that is the hallmark of champion teams. Jurgen Klopp’s team refuse to be beaten and their desire helped them win all 3 points against Crystal Palace.
