Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool: Wirtz and Isak Score as Reds Claim Premier League Victory
Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon.
Goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak secured three points for Andoni Iraola's side, while Eddie Nketiah converted a stoppage-time penalty for the hosts.
Crystal Palace created several opportunities throughout the contest, but Liverpool's greater efficiency in front of goal and an outstanding performance from Alisson Becker ultimately proved decisive.
Mac Allister Gives Liverpool First-Half Advantage
Liverpool arrived in south London following consecutive defeats against Arsenal and Fenerbahce, prompting Iraola to make five changes to his starting line-up.
Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Isak returned to the attack, while Dominik Szoboszlai retained his place in midfield.
The visitors started brightly, with Mac Allister testing Dean Henderson inside the opening minute before sending a header narrowly off target.
Crystal Palace gradually grew into the contest and threatened through Yeremy Pino, who struck the crossbar.
