Premier League 2023-24 Match Ratings: Liverpool vs Crystal Palace, Match 32

Liverpool hosted Crystal Palace at home for the English Premier League clash. The Reds after their hefty defeat of 3-0 against Atalanta BC made some changes with Alisson coming back in goal and Mohamed Salah returning to the playing XI. But they had not the best start with Palace breaking the deadlock courtesy of Eberechi Eze's goal. The visitors had the chance of making it 2-0 but failed after Andrew Robertson cleared it of the line. 

Despite trying hard the Reds failed to find an opening in the game with Dean Henderson providing with a match winning performance and destroyed Liverpool's title race hopes. The final score at Anfield was 1-0 and Jurgen Klopp's side have now lost two back to back games at home. 

Here are the Match ratings: 

Liverpool FC 

Alisson-6

His return to the side was not as he would have expectated it to be as the Brazilian shotstopper was beaten once in the game, but made one brilliant save in the last minute of the game to keep the score 1-0. 

Conor Bradley-5.5 

Conor Bradley had a tough outing in the first half as he was caught out of position and failed to track back sometimes with the youngstar was forced off the pitch due to an early injury. 

Virgil van Dijk-5

He would have suffered if the ball would have gone in as the captain slipped off which created a chance for Eze to make it 2-0 but he failed. Van Dijik was not at his best as the Dutch defender made some fumbles during the game. 

Andy Robertson-8

He was brilliant in the left side for the side as he created some genuine goalscoring attack for the side. The Scottish captain was at his best as he cleared one ball off the line and prevented them scoring the second. 

Curtis Jones-4.5

Jones was not at his best in the midfield as he had the chance of equalising for the home side after he failed to put it in the goal froma pass of Cody Gakpo.

Alexis Mac Allister-5.5

The Argentine had a decent outing as he failed to have the control of the midfield and dictate the game as well.

Nunez has had the best of chances in the game but failed to convert them with one been saved by Dean Henderson from point blank range. Thus was subbed off after the hour mark of the game. 

Luis Diaz-7.5

Diaz was arguably the best player for the Reds till he was there in the pitch. The Colombian winger was fantastic with the ball and danced through the defence and tried to score off from a volley but was denied by the Palace keeper.

Joe Gomez-N/A 

Dominik Szoboszlai-7.5

Szoboszlai despite not starting the game had a decent outing since coming on from the bench and had a lot more control of the middle in the second of the game. Winning the loose balls and creating the chances for the side.

Probably the man of the match, as the English keeper was on his absolute best to deny two sure goals of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez and keeping a clean sheet as well.

The former Liverpool man was absolutely at his best as he denied his former side from the six yard in the last quarter of the game to deny Diogo Jota. With the central defender keeping Nunez quiet for the most of the game.
