Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory over 10-man Crystal Palace, with Harvey Elliott’s late goal following Mo Salah’s equalizer. This win propelled Liverpool to the top of the Premier League standings just before Arsenal’s match against Aston Villa later in the evening.
Crystal Palace took the lead in the 57th minute with Jean-Philippe Mateta converting a penalty after a VAR review of a challenge by Reds defender Jarell Quansah. The Eagles appeared in control until Jordan Ayew received a red card in the 75th minute following two cautions. Within a minute of the sending off, Liverpool leveled the score with Mo Salah’s deflected effort, marking his 200th goal for the club.
Liverpool pressed for a decisive goal, and they found it when substitute Harvey Elliott beat the replacement Palace goalkeeper Remi Matthews from the edge of the box in the first minute of added time.
