Liverpool had a comfortable 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in round 7 of the 2024/25 Premier League. Below are the notable highlights of the Crystal Palace vs Liverpool match.

Liverpool have been impressive in all competitions in the Premier League and Champions League recently thanks to the excellent performances of a Dutch player, Ryan Gravenberch. This time when Liverpool faced Palace , another Dutchman shone, this time Cody Gakpo.

He received a score of 8.2 from the Whoscored rating site on the day Liverpool faced many difficulties against the London club. Accordingly, Gakpo was the one who created the only goal of the match in the 9th minute, in addition, he also contributed 2 shots.

Gakpo completed 82% of his passes, completed 2 dribbles and made 3 tackles. Not only Gakpo, but his Dutch compatriots Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk also contributed greatly to Liverpool’s victory.

Palace have been poor this season and it is not difficult to understand why many of their players performed poorly against Liverpool, with highly rated young midfielder Adam Wharton surprisingly the most disappointing.

He was given a rating of just 5.9, having barely contributed to the team’s play, both offensively and defensively. It was a disappointing performance for a player who was seen as the future of English football.

Liverpool made four changes to their starting line-up from their 2-0 win over Bologna in the second round of the Champions League in midweek. Up front, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota started in place of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
