Liverpool went to Crystal Palace to open this 16th day of the Premier League with the ambition of bringing back three points to steal 1st place from Arsenal, traveling to Aston Villa at 6:30 p.m. Except that Jürgen Klopp’s men didn’t really look like their good days. Shaken by the Eagles, they logically ended up conceding the opener; a penalty signed Jean-Philippe Mateta (58th).

The former Lyonnais’ first goal in the league this season was not enough. The Reds increased the momentum and took advantage of the expulsion of Jordan Ayew (75th) to equalize immediately thanks to Mohamed Salah (76th), author of his 200th achievement in the Liverpool jersey. Enough to give momentum to the Scousers who finished strong. With a great strike from the edge of the area, Elliott gave his team the victory (2-1) in stoppage time (90+1) and offered first place 1 point ahead of the Gunners.
