And it was nothing short of deserved.

Palace should have had victory in the bag before break.

The league leaders, against the only side to foil them this season, were utterly dominated by their hosts in the first half, who only needed 28 percent of the ball to do the damage.

It was freak defensive dismay for Palace’s opener in the ninth minute, the first time Liverpool have conceded this term.

The Senegal star, making his return from injury, remains something of a bogeyman against Liverpool, a mystique that all began with that sublime brace for Watford in 2019/20, one that inspired a shock demolition that downed their dreams of an invincible season.

There was an element of bad luck to the goal, another indication that after Giovanni Leoni’s heartbreaking season-ending injury last week, Liverpool’s fortuitous run was coming to an end.

Federico Chiesa, who has been a revelation as a super-sub this term after last year’s degradation, knocked home with three minutes to spare, and Arne time was alive and well.

That was until the seventh of minute of six added on, where Eddie Nketiah served Liverpool a taste of their own bitter medicine.

The latest of late shows to end Liverpool’s run of inevitability.

The critique of Liverpool’s season so far is that despite their wins, they have been far from convincing.
