Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz celebrate during Liverpool's 3-1 win at Crystal Palace

Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park on Sunday, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.

Mac Allister broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, heading home a free kick from Dominik Szoboszlai. Wirtz doubled the lead nine minutes into the second half, sweeping in a low cross from Bradley Barcola for his first Premier League goal of the season.

Isak made it 3-0 in the 89th minute, finishing a fast counter attack set up by Wirtz. Palace pulled one back in stoppage time, when substitute Eddie Nketiah, who had come on in the 72nd minute, converted a penalty after Milos Kerkez fouled Dario Osorio.

Palace had their moments. Yeremy Pino hit the bar in the first half, and Daichi Kamada forced a fine save from Alisson, who made six saves in all and was back to his best. But Liverpool's quality told after the break, and the visitors were comfortable for much of the second half.

The win lifts Liverpool into the Premier League top four, while Palace stay in the bottom three. It also piles more pressure on Palace manager Pierre Sage, whose side have now lost again at home.

Isak now has seven league goals this season, two behind leader Erling Haaland. Liverpool go into the international break with a win that steadies their season.
