In the first match of the day in the Premier League, Crystal Palace hosted Liverpool. Guest head coach Jurgen Klopp rested Mohammed Salah, whose place on the pitch was taken by Takumi Minamino. The Japanese paid the German specialist in full, scoring in the third minute. He received a pass from Manet, stopped and shot to Guaita – 0: 1. After the goal was scored, the Liverpudlians continued to control the ball but no longer threatened the opponent’s goal. After a while, they switched to the second number game, counting on counterattacks. Roy Hodgson’s barriers moved to the middle of someone else’s field, but they did not pressure Alisson’s possessions.
Then for a while, the game completely calmed down. After a brief pause, the Londoners attacked again. They won several sets, but none of the innings ended with a shot on goal. The hosts had excellent chances to score from the field, but in both cases they disappointed Aya. First, Jordan unreasonably missed the ball to Zaa instead of hitting the goal, and then he was unable to deliver an accurate pass to free Wilfirid himself. Almost immediately after this, the Merseyside took the initiative, but did not advance to the gates of Guaita. Over time, they began to act more abruptly in the other half of the field, forcing the Crystal Palace goalkeeper to enter the game more often.
In the 35th minute, Liverpool doubled the lead. Mane received a pass from Firmino and hit the ball into the near corner – 0: 2. After a goal was scored, the guests took control of the ball completely, intending to build on their own success. But in the following minutes they did not create a single moment of danger and then give the ball to the rival. Before the end of the first half, the Londoners tried to revive the intrigue, but instead failed again. Firmino dispersed the attack with a pass to Robertson, after which he received a return pass from Andrew and calmly pushed the ball to Guaita – 0: 3. Before going to the break, Alexander-Arnold had a great chance to score with a direct free kick, but Trent missed the goal. Immediately after that, the teams went to rest with a confident lead from the guests.
After the resumption of play, the Hodgson sentries took the ball under their control, moving to someone else’s half of the field. They intended to score an early goal, but instead conceded another goal. Alexander-Arnold returned the ball to Henderson and the Liverpool captain sent it to the far corner: 0: 4. A few minutes later, Mane had a great opportunity to score a double, but Sadio missed the goal from a lethal position. A few minutes later, Minamino had a chance to excel, but he wasn’t destined to score the second goal scored on his own – the Japanese shot lacked a bit of precision.
Klopp’s players continued to fully control the course of the game, while still possessing the ball. But after a while they still gave the initiative to the opponent. The hosts made several attacks in a row, but none ended in a dangerous moment. But the guests again showed the “eagles” how to score. Firmino burst into the penalty area, approached Guaita and elegantly threw the ball over the goalkeeper – 0: 5. And this goal did not stop Klopp’s team, who still possessed the ball. But the next dangerous moment had to wait a long time.
The Londoners held the ball under their control for a while, hoping to score at least one prestigious goal. However, until the end of the meeting, they failed to seriously upset Alisson. But Liverpool scored twice more. First, Salah sent the ball into goal after Matip’s discount – 0: 6. A few minutes later, the Egyptian moved to the center and launched a tremendous dribble from outside the penalty area – 0: 7. In the remaining time , the guests no longer tried to score, playing for their own pleasure. They calmly waited for the final whistle, celebrating a magnificent victory. This result allowed the “red”, although for a time, to break with Tottenham at a distance of six points.
In round 15, Crystal Palace will visit Aston Villa and Liverpool will host West Bromwich.
