X reacts as Crystal Palace shock Liverpool at Anfield
Crystal Palace stunned Liverpool with a surprise victory on Sunday, denying Jurgen Klopp's side the opportunity to re-claim the top spot in the Premier League table.
Eberechi Eze capitalised on a clever team manoeuvre in the early stages of the clash at Anfield for Palace, and despite the Reds pressing vigorously for the equaliser, their inefficiency in front of goal cost them dearly — with Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, and Mohamed Salah among those who squandered chances.
Oliver Glasner's team had chances to further their lead as Jean-Philippe Mateta had one effort cleared off the line by Andy Robertson — following a Steven Gerrard-esque slip from Virgil Van Dijk — and another exceptionally saved by Alisson.
Ultimately, Eze's finish was enough for Crystal Palace to triumph with the three points lifting them above Brentford into 14th while Liverpool remain third — the onus now on Arsenal to move into pole position in the Premier League with a win over Aston Villa.

Liverpool aimed to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Atalanta, but it was Crystal Palace who began the game on the front foot, Eze immediately applying the pressure on Alisson and testing the Liverpool goalkeeper within the opening 60 seconds of the match.
The tricky number 10's goal came in the 14th minute as he neatly finished off a slick move, Tyrick Mitchell credited with the assist.
Eberechi Eze is an insane footballer!!
