Liverpool Stay Aloft

Liverpool maintained their lead at the top of premier league courtesy to Robert Firmino's late winner in victory against Crystal Palace.

Sadio Mane scored an early opener before Wilfried Zaha equallised in 82nd-minute who failed to convert a second equaliser chance when he fired over from close range.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp said that he has "no problem that Liverpool weren't brilliant".

"We know it's a tough place to come to and we weren't compact enough in the first half. In a game like this you have to make sure you are ready to fight for the result," said Kloop.

"We are not out there to show that we invented football, because we didn't. We have a job to do and hopefully we can continue."
