Jurgen Klopp’s first defeat as Liverpool boss was going to happen, and this game had all the pre-match markings of trouble.
The long Europa League road trip, injuries thinning the squad, and perhaps the greatest example of a bogey team, Crystal Palace beat Liverpool once again 2-1 at Anfield.
The Reds recovered once more after conceding an early goal, but individual errors cost the home side dearly.
Despite starting slowly, Liverpool dominated in most areas of the match but could not make it count.
More possession, greater pass accuracy, and more shots failed to fend off the pacey, physical Eagles.
It was the first loss for the Reds in 13 matches. Unfortunately, Liverpool have made a bit of a habit of entering international breaks on a loss.
Here are four findings from the match.
