What wasn’t part of the script was a Liverpool performance that appeared to confirm that Arne Slot’s Premier League champions have been nursing the mother of all hangovers since the title was secured a month ago.

Mohamed Salah made sure the Reds didn’t sign off with a third defeat in four games with an 84th-minute equaliser.

The newly-crowned Footballer of the Year scissor-kicked a close-range volley past Palace keeper Dean Henderson from close range with the aid of a deflection off Maxence Lacroix to cancel out Ismaila Sarr’s cool first-half strike.

It was the Egyptian’s 34th goal in all competitions - and his Premier League tally of 29 secured another Golden Boot.

Not since Alan Hansen lifted the Football League first division trophy in 1990 had a Liverpool captain done the honours in front of a Kop packed to the rafters.

It was fitting that Hansen, the most elegant of central defenders in his day, accepted an invitation to hand the silverware over to that modern-day colossus Virgil van Dijk.

Is Mo Salah the Premier League's best-ever player.
