Liverpool loses 1-0 to Crystal Palace in damaging blow to Premier League title challenge

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Palace damaged its Premier League title challenge on Sunday, three days after a 3-0 defeat to Atalanta at Anfield in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. Eberechi Eze's 14th-minute goal for Palace consigned Liverpool to its first loss in the league at Anfield in 28 matches — stretching back to October 2022.
It was the 21st time the Reds have gone behind in 32 league games this season and they couldn't recover, despite Wataru Endo hitting the crossbar midway through the first half and Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones squandering golden chances in front of the Kop after the break.
Liverpool started the weekend in second place, behind Arsenal on goal difference, but is now two points adrift of Manchester City after the champions' 5-1 thrashing of Luton on Saturday. Arsenal can regain the lead by beating Aston Villa later on Sunday.

Liverpool lost last month to Manchester United in the FA Cup quarterfinals, ending Jurgen Klopp's team's unlikely quadruple hopes with the League Cup already secured.
In the past week, Liverpool has drawn at United, this time in the league, and now sustained back-to-back home losses in different competitions. (AP) AYG
