According to a report by Flashscore on Sunday, November 8, 2026, Liverpool claimed a valuable 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace in their Premier League meeting at Selhurst Park, with Florian Wirtz scoring his first league goal of the season.

The defeat extended Crystal Palace’s poor run to four successive league losses, placing manager Pierre Sage under increasing pressure. Meanwhile, Liverpool strengthened their position among the clubs competing near the top of the table.

Palace began the encounter with attacking intent and created early problems for Liverpool. Tyrick Mitchell delivered a dangerous ball across the goalmouth that nearly resulted in an opening goal before setting up another opportunity for Yeremy Pino, whose effort struck the crossbar.

The hosts later thought they had broken the deadlock when Jorgen Strand Larsen scored after Liverpool failed to deal with a long throw into the penalty area. However, VAR ruled out the goal after confirming that the striker was in an offside position following Daichi Kamada’s involvement in the move.

Liverpool also had opportunities to take the lead, but Bradley Barcola failed to make the most of Dominik Szoboszlai’s delivery, sending his close-range volley over the crossbar.

Crystal Palace continued to threaten, with Kamada forcing Alisson into an impressive save after finding space inside the penalty area. However, Liverpool eventually took control of the contest when Alexis Mac Allister headed home Szoboszlai’s free-kick to give the visitors the lead.

Alisson remained important to Liverpool’s advantage, producing another excellent intervention before half-time to deny Adam Wharton’s header. At the other end, Ronald Araujo missed an opportunity to extend the lead after directing his close-range effort straight at Dean Henderson.

Palace returned for the second half determined to get back into the game, but Liverpool punished them on the counter-attack. Barcola supplied the final pass for Wirtz, who finished from close range to double the visitors’ advantage.

The hosts struggled to find a way past Liverpool’s defence despite continuing to push forward. Alisson also denied Pino when the forward threatened to reduce the deficit.

Isak came close to getting on the scoresheet, but Henderson initially prevented the Swedish striker from scoring. The Liverpool forward eventually found the net in the 89th minute after combining with Wirtz to make it 3-0.

Crystal Palace managed to pull one back in stoppage time after Milos Kerkez was penalised for a foul inside the penalty area. Eddie Nketiah converted the resulting penalty, but Liverpool comfortably protected their lead until the final whistle.

The victory took Liverpool’s away points tally to 13, the highest in the Premier League this season. Palace, meanwhile, suffered their fourth consecutive league defeat, leaving Sage facing growing pressure to turn the team’s fortunes around.
