Peter Crouch praises Jota’s goal
“I thought it was a fantastic goal, they cannot deal with Gakpo,” the former Liverpool and England striker said of the current Reds forward’s assist when speaking to TNT Sports. “Jota’s movement is great and his movement to get free is outstanding. There’s only ever one though in his mind – to get into the box.”

Half time: Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool
Liverpool forward Jota’s 9th-minute strike keeps the visitors ahead at the break.
Palace came close to equalising in the dying minutes of the first half before the Liverpool defence reacted quickly to rescue the team.
Overall, so far Arne Slot’s side has dominated the game, enjoying 73% possession and registering eight shots, of which two were on target.
Palace, on the other hand, had just one shot on target – Sarr’s late attempt. However, they had a 1st-minute effort disallowed for offside.
