Some brilliant saves from Daniel Munoz, Yeremy Pino and Jean-Philippe Mateta kept Liverpool in the game longer than they should have been.

Conor Bradley - 5

Although a bit unlucky to concede the corner for the opener, Bradley struggled with Pino and Tyrick Mitchell down the Palace left.



However, he maintained a decent line in the second half as Liverpool pressed high.

Milos Kerkez - 5

With no winger ahead of him in the first half, Kerkez attempted to provide some attacking thrust down the left with minimal impact.

He found more success in the second half with Cody Gakpo in front of him.

Ryan Gravenberch - 6

Despite a misguided header that inadvertently assisted Palace's opener, he showed flashes of brilliance in midfield and nearly scored with a shot that hit the post in the first half.

He did manage a good pass to release Isak in the second half before being substituted.

Dominik Szoboszlai - 7

The only Liverpool player to demonstrate any real fire and quality before half-time, assisting Konate's chance and then switching to right-back in the second half where he delivered a good cross for Wirtz.

Mohamed Salah - 4

Salah's performance was lacklustre, struggling with the basics and offering little going forward or in defence.

He missed a decent opportunity in the second half before being subbed off but to be fair, he made the chance himself with a dribble.

Florian Wirtz - 5

Although he worked hard to find space in his free role, his possession lacked quality.

Missed an absolute sitter with Liverpool 1-0 down.

Substitutes

Cody Gakpo (Bradley 46) - 6

Provided more structure on the left and made some half-chances.

Curtis Jones (Mac Allister 65) -6

Helped Liverpool maintain possession and pick passes.

Jeremie Frimpong (Konate 74) - 6

Added pace to Liverpool's attack down the right.

Federico Chiesa (Wirtz 74) - 7

He scored a fine goal and nearly added another.

Rio Ngumoha (for Isak 84) - N/A

Had little opportunity to impact the game.
