Palace took an early lead with Luka Milivojevic’s seventh successful penalty this season after Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius had charged into goal-bound Wilfried Zaha and was booked. Liverpool remain third, two points behind Manchester United, but five points clear of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who play one of their two games in hand at Chelsea on Sunday. "Maximum credit to my players," Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said after marking his 100th Premier League game with victory. But he agreed the Senegalese international could have received a second yellow after deliberate handball when he felt he had been fouled. "The second one is a foul on Sadio and yes, he puts his hand on the ball, which is a second yellow, so we were lucky in that instance."
