MISS!

Crystal Palace free-kick puts Liverpool under pressure and after the defence struggle to clear the ball,  Cabaye gets an opportunity to steal a goal.

His final shot on the turn just sails over the bar. That might well have been their best chance to take the lead.

MISS!

Liverpool continue to look dominant but can’t seem to get the decisive goal to reclaim the lead.

Score is still locked at 1-1 as we pass the hour mark.

SAVE!

Great delivery from Coutinho but none of the Liverpool players in the box can get up high enough to steer a header into the net.

SAVE!

Liverpool come agonisingly close to restoring their lead. Coutinho danced his way around the Palace cover.

Half-time is close and that Palace goal has changed the complexion of this game.

GOAL!!

GOAL!

Magic. Coutinho takes the free that he earned and curls a beautiful shot up and around the wall and inside the post.

Liverpool free.

Coutinho tripped while trying to run through. Decent scoring position.

MISS!!

Palace still have life in them. Benteke takes a shot without any real pressure on him but it drifts wide.

Liverpool will have to get tighter on him.
