Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday to climb above Aston Villa into fourth place in the Premier League table. Villa lost 1-0 to Fulham on Friday night, and Liverpool finally capitalised on a team’s poor performance to further solidify their chances of playing in the Champions League next season.

Arne Slot’s future at Liverpool reportedly depends on whether or not his team qualifies for next season’s elite European knockout tournament, and he now looks on target to meet this demand from FSG. Isak has had an incredibly challenging debut season at Liverpool with low fitness and the broken leg he suffered against Spurs.

His goal against Palace means he has four goals total, but with a few strong performances before the end of the season, he could give himself something to look back on with pride in the summer. Florian Wirtz sealed the win with a powerful volley in the 96th minute to seal the win for Liverpool, taking his tally for Liverpool this season to seven goals and 10 assists.
