At a packed Anfield, the Reds came from behind twice to secure the crucial three points. Wilfried Zaha gave Palace a shock lead, but goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane swiftly turned the game on its head. Zaha equalized once more before halftime, but Liverpool responded with a superb second-half performance. Mohamed Salah restored their lead, before Roberto Firmino sealed the victory with a stunning long-range strike. The win sees Liverpool move eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have played one game fewer. With just four matches remaining in the season, Jurgen Klopp’s side are now within touching distance of the long-awaited title. Oxlade-Chamberlain, who opened the scoring with a stunning volley, hailed his team’s resilience. “We knew it was going to be a tough game, but we showed great character to come back twice,” he said. “We’re not over the line yet, but this is a huge step towards winning the title.” Klopp was delighted with his team’s performance, particularly after going behind. “The boys showed great mentality today,” he said. “We had to work hard, but we deserved the win. We’re in a good position now, but we need to keep going and not get complacent.” With Manchester City facing a difficult trip to Old Trafford next weekend, Liverpool could extend their lead to 11 points with a win over Huddersfield Town. The Reds’ next match is a home fixture against Chelsea on May 5th, before they face Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Brighton & Hove Albion to complete their season. As the Premier League title race enters its final stages, Liverpool are firmly in the driving seat. With a thrilling victory over Crystal Palace, they have taken a major step towards ending their long wait for glory.
