They were ultimately denied as they pursued the equalising second by a late penalty decision which allowed Liverpool to bury the game.
After a first-half in which play swung between the teams – Liverpool scoring in each of their spells on top – Palace returned with a point to prove.
They began the second-half with remarkable speed and kept Liverpool under pressure for much of the next 45 minutes.
Impressive link-up play between Jean-Philippe Mateta and Odsonne Edouard allowed the latter to score and tee-up hopes of a fightback, however it wasn’t to be for the south Londoners.
It was a spirited performance throughout, though, so let us know your Man of the Match below.
