In a surprising turn of events at Anfield, Crystal Palace emerged victorious against Liverpool with a score of 1-0, putting a dent in the latter's aspirations for the Premier League championship.

Eberechi Eze was the hero for Palace, finding the net in the 14th minute from short distance to secure a lead that was not anticipated.

Liverpool, despite having the upper hand in ball control, faced difficulty in making the most of their multiple opportunities. Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Curtis Jones missed crucial chances that could have leveled the playing field.

Towards the end of the match, Crystal Palace nearly broadened their lead, yet Jean-Philippe Mateta’s attempt was thwarted by an impressive save from Alisson, Liverpool's goalkeeper, maintaining the 1-0 score.

The inability of Liverpool to score an equalizer led to them experiencing their first domestic league defeat at home this season. This left Jurgen Klopp's team two points adrift of the frontrunners Manchester City and behind Arsenal based on goal difference.

Given Arsenal's advantage with a pending match against Aston Villa, the likelihood of Liverpool securing the championship is now under threat.
