Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal at Anfield since joining Liverpool FC, as the Reds strengthened their grip on a Champions League spot with victory over Crystal Palace.
The Sweden international has endured a frustrating spell since completing a British-record £125m move from Newcastle United, but he opened the scoring in style. His effort from 12 yards took a bounce and looped over goalkeeper Dean Henderson into the net.
With both Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili sidelined through injury, third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman made his Premier League debut for Liverpool. He produced a fine diving save to deny Jean-Philippe Mateta moments before the hosts doubled their lead.
Liverpool made it 2-0 through Andy Robertson, who finished off a swift counter-attack following a rapid move involving Curtis Jones.
Palace set up a tense finale when Daniel Muñoz struck from outside the box with Woodman down injured. Substitute Jørgen Strand Larsen then came close to equalising but saw his effort hit the post in the 84th minute.
However, Liverpool sealed the victory deep into stoppage time as Florian Wirtz fired home a right-footed finish from inside the area.
