Liverpool's week from hell came to its conclusion on Sunday, as they backed up a disappointing draw at Manchester United and their embarrassing defeat to Atalanta with a lethargic 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace that leaves them with a mountain to climb in the Premier League title race.

Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the game after just 14 minutes, as he slid in an effort from close-range after a superb one-touch move from Palace down their left-hand side. They were unfortunate not to go 2-0 down, too, as Andrew Robertson made a heroic goal-line clearance to deny Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Liverpool eventually came into the game as Wataru Endo hit the crossbar before Dean Henderson made fine saves to deny Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in the first half, and then Darwin Nunez early in the second period.

The Reds continued to pile on the pressure, and both Curtis Jones and substitute Diogo Jota wasted gilt-edged chances, while at the other end, Alisson Becker somehow denied Mateta from close-range. In the end, Palace held on to leave Liverpool two points adrift of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

GOAL rates Liverpool's players from Anfield...

  • Alisson Becker Liverpool 2023-24Getty Images

    Goalkeeper & Defence

    Alisson Becker (6/10):

    Had no real chance with Eze's goal and made a couple of straightforward early saves before somehow keeping Mateta's second-half effort out on his return from injury.

    Conor Bradley (4/10):

    Struggled defensively as Palace launched the majority of their attacks down his flank. Forced off early in the second half with an ankle injury.

    Ibrahima Konate (4/10):

    All over the place at times in defence as he looked rushed by the Palace attack. Did make a couple of incisive passes in the second half as the hosts put the pressure on.

    Virgil van Dijk (5/10):

    Perhaps should have spotted Eze ghosting into the penalty area for the goal, and was almost exposed by Mateta before Robertson saved him from embarrassment. Commanding thereafter.

    Andrew Robertson (7/10):

    Liverpool's best player on the day by a distance. At the heart of many of their best attacks, especially in the first half, and kept Olise pretty quiet.

  • Alexis Mac Allister Liverpool 2023-24Getty Images

    Midfield

    Alexis Mac Allister (4/10):

    Well off his usual level as he misplaced countless passes in midfield. Potentially tiring after a long season pulling the strings.

    Wataru Endo (4/10):

    Did some good defensive work but far too sloppy when in possession as Palace encouraged him to act as a deep-lying playmaker. Withdrawn at half-time.

    Curtis Jones (2/10):

    Guilty of failing to follow Eze for the Palace goal and struggled to keep the ball in midfield. Somehow fired wide when clean through in the final 20 minutes. Booked.

  • Luis Diaz Liverpool 2023-24Getty Images

    Attack

    Mohamed Salah (3/10):

    Couldn't get into the game as Palace expertly cut off passing lanes to the Egyptian. Denied once by Henderson in the first half and by a Mitchell block late on, but didn't look himself at all.

    Darwin Nunez (3/10):

    Caused problems with his physicality but abysmal when the ball eventually reached him. Fired straight at Henderson when it looked easier to score early in the second half, before he was replaced by Gakpo.

    Luis Diaz (6/10):

    Caused compatriot Munoz a couple of problems with direct dribbling but faded the longer the game went on. Replaced midway through the second half.

  • Jurgen Klopp Liverpool 2023-24Getty Images

    Subs & Manager

    Dominik Szoboszlai (5/10):

    Scruffy after replacing Endo at half-time. Did create a couple of big chances as the game wore on, however.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold (5/10):

    Gave Liverpool energy after coming on for the injured Bradley early in the second half, but showed rust after his own long lay-off.

    Diogo Jota (5/10):

    Somehow failed to equalise when presented with an open goal, only to fire a weak effort straight at Clyne.

    Cody Gakpo (6/10):

    Linked up well after replacing Nunez but couldn't create anything of note.

    Harvey Elliott (N/A):

    Had one header parried by Henderson after coming on for the final 10 minutes.

    Jurgen Klopp (4/10):

    Looked to have picked his strongest possible team, but his side lacked energy in the first half and composure throughout. For once, his substitutions didn't work either.
