Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday, boosting their Champions League qualification hopes, but Mohamed Salah's hamstring injury has cast a dark cloud over the resultMohamed Salah after being substituted (Image: Gareth Copley/Getty Images)The streak goes on. Liverpool received a significant lift in their pursuit of Champions League qualification after defeating troublesome opponents Crystal Palace 3-1 in the Premier League at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.Alexander Isak and Andy Robertson found the net in the opening period, with Florian Wirtz adding a third deep into added time after Daniel Munoz had contentiously pulled one back for the visitors while stand-in goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was down injured.It proved to be an eventful 90 minutes for Arne Slot's men who are poised to finish inside the Champions League places once more.

For Liverpool, the consolation to a poor season will almost certainly come in the form of Champions League qualification after a ropey win against Crystal Palace, but it remains to be seen if Mohamed Salah will be fit to see it through."His removal shortly before the hour mark with what appeared to be a hamstring injury will inevitably stir fears of an anti-climactic end to one of the most sterling club shifts the Premier League has known."As he left the field, he waved to all four corners of Anfield in one of those gestures that will only enhance the anxiety around his forthcoming scans. From there, he departed straight down the tunnel, with the mood eventually lifted by a 3-1 win that strengthened recent momentum for Arne Slot's side."Liverpool's Alexander Isak celebrates scoring the opening goal during the Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Anfield on April 25 2026(Image: Paul ELLIS / AFP via Getty Images)Andy Hunter - The Guardian - "The sun shone, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz made an impression on a Liverpool victory, Freddie Woodman seized his moment as third-choice goalkeeper and Arne Slot's team went fourth by lifting the curse of Crystal Palace.

This season being what it is for the champions, though, a dark cloud had to appear."Mohamed Salah limped out of Liverpool's third consecutive Premier League win and potentially out of his final season at Anfield with a hamstring injury. For the first time, their £100m men were twinned on the scoresheet as, for the first time, Alexander Isak struck for Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield."Andy Robertson scored what is very likely to be his last one.
