Roberto Firmino scored a late winner as Liverpool maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought victory over Crystal Palace.
The Brazil striker poked in from a corner five minutes from time to restore his side’s lead three minutes after it looked as if Wilfried Zaha had rescued a point for the Eagles.
Zaha’s 82nd-minute goal was his first of the season and cancelled out Sadio Mane’s 10th goal of the season just after half-time.
Palace winger Zaha then wasted a great chance to score a second equaliser late on when he blazed over from close range.
Palace defender James Tomkins also had a goal ruled out in first-half stoppage time by the video assistant referee after Jordan Ayew was adjudged to have fouled Dejan Lovren.
Liverpool’s victory means they have now gone 30 games unbeaten in the Premier League.
