New signings Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz combined with the former firing a low finish into the far corner.Palace levelled on 17 minutes from the penalty spot. Virgil van Dijk clumsily brought down Ismaila Sarr in the area, with Jean-Philippe Mateta sending Alisson the wrong way from 12 yards.However, Liverpool were back in front just moments later. Jeremie Frimpong became the second Liverpool debutant to score, as the right-back’s fortuitous effort evaded Dean Henderson. Frimpong’s attempt cross to the far post dropped over the goalkeeper to restore the Reds’ advantage.

Sarr scored 13 minutes from time, after Van Dijk’s attempted offside trap left a huge gap for the winger to exploit. The Eagles then came close to a winner late on as substitute Justin Devenny fired just wide of Alisson’s far post.Liverpool’s poor penalties began from the first kick, when Mohamed Salah blazed over the crossbar. After Mateta converted for Palace, Alexis Mac Allister missed Liverpool’s second, but Alisson’s save from Eberechi Eze kept them in the contest.Cody Gakpo and Sarr exchanged penalties before a tame effort from Harvey Elliott put Palace firmly in control.
