Crystal palace 1-0 win dampens Liverpool's quadruple hopes

Andy Robertson insisted Liverpool will "keep fighting" despite their Premier League title hopes suffering a huge blow as they fell to a 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace at Anfield.

Eberechi Eze converted from Tyrick Mitchell's cut-back to finish off a flowing Palace move early on and the visitors were deservedly in front at the break.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds ramped up the pressure in the second half but, just as in recent games against Manchester United and Atalanta, their finishing let them down as they lost at home in the league for the first time since October 2022.

Defeat leaves Liverpool two points behind leaders Manchester City and level on points with Arsenal, who were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa in Sunday's late kick-off.

"I think we are always still in it. We are still there," Liverpool full-back Robertson told Sky Sports. "We will keep fighting, keep going to the end, and let's see where it gets us.

"With six games to go we will give it everything we have got. The problem is there's two world-class teams doing it as well and that's the difficult part."
