Liverpool dropped points again
In the evening, Liverpool continued their difficult season at Selhurst Park. During the week, Pool had collapsed in the Champions League match against Real Madrid, and the team could not beat Crystal Palace either.

The situation was preceded by a star pack Trent Alexander-Arnold a terrible loss of possession, which for its part says everything about Liverpool’s difficulties.
Sure, too Mo Salah and Diogo Jota rattled the goalposts, but just couldn’t get the ball to the net.
