Liverpool secured a dramatic 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace, with Mohamed Salah scoring his 200th goal for the club. The win propelled Liverpool to the top of the Premier League. Initially, Palace took the lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty, putting Liverpool in a precarious position in the title race. However, Jordan Ayew's red card shifted the momentum in Liverpool's favor, allowing them to stage a late comeback.

Salah's 200th goal for Liverpool made him the fifth player to achieve this milestone for the club. His 14th goal of the season also marked his 150th Premier League goal, placing him in the top-10 all-time scorers alongside Michael Owen. Despite Salah's landmark, a draw would have been disappointing for Liverpool, but young midfielder Harvey Elliott's last-minute winner secured the crucial three points.

This victory moved Liverpool to the top of the Premier League, one point ahead of second-placed Arsenal. With upcoming home games against Manchester United and Arsenal, Liverpool has an opportunity to strengthen their title credentials heading into the new year.

The match was not without controversy, as a penalty decision was overturned after a VAR review, and Liverpool struggled to find their rhythm in the first half. However, Palace's fortunes changed when Ayew was sent off, and Liverpool capitalized on the numerical advantage to secure the win.

Elliott's decisive goal in stoppage time sealed the victory for Liverpool, capping off a thrilling comeback. The win sets the stage for an exciting title race as Liverpool looks to maintain their position at the top of the league.
