Liverpool defeat Palace to move up to fourth

With 70 minutes gone, the Eagles were attacking when Freddie Woodman went down with an injury allowing Daniel Muñoz to put the ball into an empty net from distance. It was a strange moment but fortunately for Arne Slot, Woodman was able to continue with U21s goalkeeper Amin Pécsi the only other alternative.

The visitors were hoping to find an equaliser but the Reds wrapped up the game in stoppage time when Joe Gomez's throw into the box was touched down by Mac Allister for Florian Wirtz to run on to and finish.
