Arne Slot made it nine wins in 10 games as Liverpool boss - the best start of any manager in their history - courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime.

Palace thought they had taken the lead after 25 seconds, but Eddie Nketiah was offside when he finished from close range, and it was Liverpool who opened the scoring after eight minutes thanks to Diogo Jota.

The Reds were in control of proceedings in the first half and frustrated Oliver Glasner's men by restricting them to just one shot by the interval.

Alexis Mac Allister was taken off at half time for Dominik Szoboszlai, but the change made little difference to the game, and it was Liverpool who had the first real opportunity of the second half when Mohamed Salah's shot was saved by Dean Henderson from inside the box after Szoboszlai passed towards the Egyptian from the right.

Eberechi Eze tested goalkeeper Alisson Becker in the 70th minute with a fierce strike near the edge of the box after the Liverpool defence failed to clear a long ball played towards Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Alisson worryingly seemed to pick up a muscle injury in the 77th minute, and with Caoimhin Kelleher unavailable for the Reds, 23-year-old Vitezslav Jaros was brought on for his Premier League debut.

Liverpool came under pressure from Palace in the latter stages of the game, but ultimately managed to hold on for all three points, and the victory means the Reds will stay top of the Premier League over the upcoming international break.

As for Crystal Palace, they have now lost four, drawn three and won none of their seven top-flight matches, and have failed to take themselves out of the bottom three.
