Crystal Palace vs Liverpool LIVE score: Premier League result and reaction
Crystal Palace 0-0 Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp’s Reds endured a frustrating evening in London as they failed to break down Palace
Liverpool completed a difficult week with a frustrating 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace that did little to enhance their prospects of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
Thrashed 5-2 at home by Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, Jurgen Klopp’s side laboured against a Palace side who well deserved their point.
Liverpool moved up a place to seventh in the table, six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Without a win in eight league games, Palace are 12th, six points above the relegation zone.
Mohamed Salah hit the woodwork for Liverpool in the second half but Palace had two gilt-edged chances in the first period with Marc Guehi heading wide and Jean-Philippe Mateta firing a shot against the crossbar.

Robertson clumsily bundles Ayew over down the right to give Palace one last chance to put the ball into the box. It also earns him a late yellow card.

Into three minutes of added time here, and Liverpool have a free-kick on the right. Milner swings a deep cross in, but Van Dijk can't direct it back towards goal, and Palace clear their lines.

Bajcetic cheaply loses the ball and Palace win it back high upfield again. They switch it to the left, but can't find a way through, so it's sent back out to Ayew on the right, but he can't pick out a cross either.

Milner lets the ball run out of play as Doucoure is down. He's struggling with cramp, which Lokonga helps him out with, and he can carry on without treatment.

Only Everton vs Liverpool in September (four) has seen the woodwork hit more times in a Premier League fixture this season than this match (three).

It's Matip that stops a Palace counter-attack this time, and his name also goes into the book.
