Liverpool 1–1 Crystal Palace: Salah's Record-Equalling Strike Caps Off Title Celebration at Anfield

1.0x

Liverpool concluded their triumphant 2024–25 Premier League season with a 1–1 draw against Crystal Palace at Anfield, marking a day of celebration as they lifted the league trophy in front of their fans.

The match began with Crystal Palace taking an early lead in the 9th minute through Ismaila Sarr, capitalizing on a defensive lapse. Liverpool, despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, found it challenging to break through Palace's defense. Their efforts were further hampered when Ryan Gravenberch received a red card in the 68th minute for a second bookable offense.

However, in the 84th minute, Mohamed Salah delivered a moment of brilliance, volleying in an equalizer that not only salvaged a point for Liverpool but also saw him equal the Premier League record for most goal involvements in a single season, with 47 (29 goals and 18 assists). This achievement matched the records previously held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

Post-match, Salah was honored with both the Golden Boot and Playmaker of the Season awards, becoming the first player to win both in the same campaign. The day also marked an emotional farewell for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to depart the club, receiving a heartfelt ovation from the Anfield crowd.

The festivities culminated with captain Virgil van Dijk lifting the Premier League trophy, as Liverpool celebrated their second title under manager Jürgen Klopp.
