Liverpool moved away from their chances of winning the Premier League title after being narrowly defeated by Crystal Palace at Anfield (0-1). A solitary goal from Eze in the 14th minute was enough to condemn the Reds, who were far from their best level and saw their chances of winning the English championship for the second consecutive time disappear.
The team led by Jürgen Klopp started the game with control of the ball, but without creating any real dangerous chances. However, Crystal Palace took advantage of their first opportunity to take the lead.
After the goal, Liverpool reacted and looked for a comeback with determination. The Reds dominated possession of the ball and created several dangerous chances, but Crystal Palace's lack of aim and defensive solidity prevented a tie.
Liverpool once again showed the same shortcomings that they had already exhibited in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals against Atalanta. Klopp's men were fragile in defense, making specific errors that allowed Crystal Palace to create danger on the counterattack. Furthermore, the lack of success in the final meters doomed the aspirations of the local team.
With this defeat, Liverpool is two points behind Manchester City. Furthermore, Arsenal, which is two points behind the Citizens, has the possibility of closing the gap this weekend. In this way, the fight for the Premier League title becomes even more exciting with only four games left in the championship.
The defeat against Crystal Palace is the second in a row for Liverpool, after also losing in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Atalanta. This bad run of results worries the 'red' fans, who see their chances of winning two important titles this season slipping away.
