Liverpool extended its lead at the top of the Premier League after a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace. Diogo Jota’s ninth-minute goal saw the Merseyside club move four points clear of second-place Manchester City which was playing Fulham later on the day. But it wasn’t all good news for Liverpool manager Arne Slot after goalkeeper Alisson suffered a latest injruy and substituted in the second half. Alisson, who has only recently returned from a muscle injury, was holding the back of his right leg after limping off the field at Selhurst Park.
