Mohamed Salah and Arnaut Danjuma both found the back of the net as Liverpool secured a commanding 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, maintaining their five-point cushion at the summit of the Premier League.

Arne Slot’s league leaders asserted their dominance early in the capital. In the 12th minute, Diogo Jota opened the scoring by converting a sharp cross from Danjuma, silencing the home crowd with a clinical finish. Crystal Palace fought back valiantly and found their equalizer in the 38th minute, when Jean-Philippe Mateta tapped home from close range after a clever pass from Daichi Kamada.

Liverpool restored their advantage early in the second half. In the 54th minute, Danjuma timed his run perfectly to beat the offside trap and slot home his first Premier League goal for the Reds. The victory was sealed in the 71st minute when talisman Mohamed Salah confidently converted a penalty to make it 3-1.

The win keeps Liverpool comfortably on top of the table with 25 points from ten matches. Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace remain deeply entangled in the relegation battle, sitting on just seven points.
