On November 23, 2019, Liverpool continued to assert their dominance in the Premier League, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The win, secured by Roberto Firmino's 85th-minute winner, marked a significant milestone for Jurgen Klopp's side, extending their unbeaten run to 30 league games.

Despite being shorn of Mohamed Salah, who started on the bench due to an ankle injury, Liverpool's grit and determination ultimately paid off, as they maintained their eight-point lead over Leicester at the top of the table.

The victory also reinforced Liverpool's impressive ability to turn draws into victories, a habit that looks set to carry them to a first Premier League title in 30 years.

Palace had their chances, particularly in the first half, but Liverpool's resilience and good fortune ultimately led to their success.

VAR played a crucial role in the game, ruling out a Palace goal in the first half, and Liverpool's ability to capitalize on their opponents' mistakes was a key factor in their win.
