The Reds earned a crucial three points in the race for the Champions League places, despite what proved to be a hugely controversial goal for the opposition at AnfieldLiverpool's Alexander Isak and Andy Robertson were on target in the win over Crystal PalaceLiverpool earned a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday which should go a long way to securing a Champions League spot for next season.Supporters could hardly have selected two more popular scorers than that of Alexander Isak - who grabbed his first home league goal for the club - or Andy Robertson - netting surely his last in red.Then came the game's moment of controversy, as Daniel Munoz netted for Palace - more on that later. It was a moment that was rendered redudant by Florian Wirtz's late strike, but it still left a bitter taste in the mouth for all Liverpool fans.How the table looksChelsea's recent collapse has boosted Liverpool's top-five hopes, which were further enhanced on Saturday by Aston Villa's dropped points in the early kick-off at Craven Cottage.
The win over Palace moved the Reds level on points with Unai Emery's side and Manchester United, although the Red Devils don't play until Monday, and now sits 12 points clear of sixth-place Brighton with four rounds of fixtures remaining.Worth the waitWhen Isak became Liverpool's all-time top scorer, few fans expected his first home league goal to come in late April. Isak controlled Alexis Mac Allister's shot well before his scruffy finish bounced over Dean Henderson and into the home goal.If that was a moment to savor for the home fans, so was the image of Robertson screaming in delight minutes later as he netted what is likely the final goal of his Liverpool.
Fans also accompanied the display with chants of "you greedy b---ards" and "enough is enough".Woodman for England?With Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili both injured, Liverpool turned to third-choice goalkeeper Woodman, who came in to make just a third appearance for the club, and only his fifth Premier League start. The Liverpool legend appeared to rub his hamstring as he made way, and fans will hope the issue is nothing serious, especially with just four games remaining for the club.
