Liverpool kept pace with Premier League leaders Manchester City and Arsenal with an entertaining 4-2 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Emre Can opened the scoring in a frantic first half, with James McArthur equalising within two minutes after a blunder from Dejan Lovren.
The Reds were back in front when Lovren headed home from Philippe Coutinho’s corner, only to be pegged back by a McArthur header once again.
Joel Matip scored his first Liverpool goal from another corner on 44 minutes, ensuring the visitors were in front at the break.
The second half was comparatively quiet, but Roberto Firmino sealed the three points with a neat finish after an incisive pass from Jordan Henderson.
Though defensive frailties remain a concern for Jurgen Klopp’s side, they are now unbeaten in eleven games.
