    Crystal Palace 0-4 Liverpool

    This could be a long half hour for Roy Hodgson as Takumi Minamino should get a fifth but drags a shot wide.

    Michael Greenfield: What a stunner from Jordan Henderson. Skipper on fire today yet again

    Jason: Imagine when the other players are fit for Liverpool...

    Paul: Is anyone at palace doing their defensive job today? Mane goal aside all 3 other goals of the 4 have included Liverpool players been left all on their own either in build up or to score. Firmino was allowed run into box unchallenged for his.

    Crystal Palace 0-4 Liverpool

    Sadio Mane is replaced, And he's absolutely livid about it. Takes him an age to sulk off the pitch as Mo Salah, a man after his own heart, gallops on.

    Crystal Palace 0-4 Liverpool

    Very, very nearly five. Liverpool are flying along. Andrew Robertson gets into space on the left wing, cuts it back to Sadio Mane who takes a touch, fires in a low shot and it's deflected inches wide...

    Crystal Palace 0-4 Liverpool

    You either love or hate a stat like this, and we're in a divided enough world but here we go:

    This is the second time a club have had goalscorers representing four different continents in a single Premier League match. The first occasion was also at Selhurst Park: Wimbledon in a 4-1 victory against Barnsley on 23 September 1997.

    As Liverpool go 4-0 up, they send Mo Salah down the line to warm up.

    GOAL - Crystal Palace 0-4 Liverpoolpublished at 13:38 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Jordan Henderson (52 mins)

    That should see that chat off.

    He doesn't get many does he but they tend to be decent and that's no exception, what a cracking goal from Jordan Henderson!

    Liverpool move the ball smartly out to Trent Alxander-Arnold on the right, he has time and space and sets it back into the path of Henderson, maybe 22 yards out, and he just sweeps a first-time curling finish across Vicente Guaita and into the far corner.

    Crystal Palace 0-3 Liverpool

    That famous defeat gets mentioned every time Liverpool come to Selhurst Park but it is actually sort of relevant now - The last instance of a team going three goals ahead in an away PL game and failing to win was Liverpool at Crystal Palace in May 2014.

    Yeah he's rubbish isn't he Mo Salah? May as well send him on loan to Tranmere next month.

    Palace make a bright, energetic start to the second half. Get one back and you never know...

    Funny that. Salah is not involved and the Reds finish off all their chances, love him but is Mo's wastefulness being shown up today.

    Liverpool have a lot of good forwards and a lot of games to play them all in. This reactive x-should-replace-y every 45 minutes is hard to keep up with.

    Jota was meant to be binning Firmino off about four days ago.

    Daniel Quirk: I’m calling it, Palace 3-3 Liverpool. Cahill hat-trick.

    Jason: Mane and Bobby what class today.

    Ben Green: Surely the dilemma for Klopp is that Liverpool are a better team without Salah, but how can you drop his goals in big games?

    London Money: Firmino seems to have turned in to Ian Rush this week!

    To Mohammed at 13:19 - I don't think you need to worry. This team really is something else and I'm a Chelsea fan.

    Tom West: That’s filthy from Firmino. Such a lovely goal

    EineKleineGenius: Wondering whether Roberto Firmino should be in the starting 11 instead of Jota, even when Jota is fit again...hmmm.

    Mikey: What a performance this has been so far. Rode out their strong 15 mins and lethal finishing.
