Mohamed Salah scored his 50th Premier League goal as Liverpool came back from behind to defeat a resolute Crystal Palace in a seven-goal thriller at Anfield.

The Reds dominated the vast majority of the first half, but it was the visitors who managed to get out of the stalemate on Andros Townsend, who beat Alisson closely following Wilfried Zaha's center.

But the hosts came out for the second period with goals on the agenda and it took only one minute for Salah to equalize before taking advantage seven minutes later. thanks to Roberto Firmino.

However, Palace was not at the rendezvous and James Tomkins capitalized on a mediocre defense to take the side head.

However, a calamitous error by Julian Speroni – making his first appearance since December 2017 – gave Liverpool an undeniable advantage, as the goalkeeper sent the ball to his own net to allow Salah to score on the line.

Sadio Mane scored the fourth goal in stoppage time, just after James Milner was sent off for two yellow card fouls against Wilfried Zaha of Palace – even though it was still time for Max Meyer to comfort the visitors.
