Arne Slot and Liverpool were left fuming as Crystal Palace pulled a goal back at Anfield while the Reds' goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was down injured.

Alexander Isak and Andy Robertson had put the hosts 2-0 up before half-time, and they looked to be easing their way to victory before Daniel Munoz scored for the visitors with just under 20 minutes to go. The goal though was shrouded in controversy.

Woodman stayed down after he appeared to get his studs caught in the turf as he saved from Ismaila Sarr. With no one in goal for Liverpool, Munoz turned the ball home from outside the penalty area, leading to protests from Slot and his players.

The Liverpool head coach remonstrated with Palace boss Oliver Glasner and the officials, arguing that play should have been halted with Woodman down injured.

Although Woodman appeared to be struggling with his knee, the goalkeeper continued the game after receiving treatment, with Liverpool already down its third-choice amid injuries to Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili.
