Crystal Palace handed Liverpool their first Premier League loss of the Jurgen Klopp era, defeating the Merseyside club 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday.
Yannick Bolasie put the visitors ahead after 21 minutes, when he struck the ball home inside a crowded penalty area after Liverpool failed to clear their lines.
Philippe Coutinho put the Reds back on level terms three minutes before half-time with a precise finish following Adam Lallana's deft flick-on.
However, Scott Dann sealed all three points for the Eagles with a headed goal in the 82nd minute.

Jurgen Klopp speaks about his first loss as Liverpool manager:
"Today is a bad feeling - it was not necessary to lose this game. We were the better team but for the first 15 minutes we were not on the pitch. We got the goal, we were awake, we started creating chances.
"But after the break, we gave them chances to cause us problems. Then we woke up again but couldn't make a goal. It feels so bad because it was not necessary. This was not enough for us - we can do more. We have to learn from this."
Palace boss Alan Pardew was delighted with his team's showing:
"We came here with ambition. The worst thing that happened to us was scoring, we then lost the ambition. Liverpool came on to us.
"We went toe-to-toe against Manchester United and got a draw, we went toe-toe toe with Liverpool and got the win.
"Sometimes it is about our own belief. We have been unlucky in the last few games. We have started really well this year. We need to make sure we capitalise on that."
STATS SPECIALS
