REACTION: TNT SPORTS EXPERTS SAY RED CARD TURNED THE GAME
PETER CROUCH: "I just didn't see it coming at all, especially after that first half performance. The red card was a massive factor. I didn’t think it was a sending off but Liverpool capitalised on it and it was a fantastic goal from Harvey Elliott."
RIO FERDINAND: "I agree, I didn’t think it was a red card." He added that he felt it was the story of Liverpool's season, always coming back from a losing position to win. He praises Klopp's side for scoring goals in critical moments in games.

LIVERPOOL TOP THE TABLE AFTER CRAZY COMEBACK WIN AT PALACE
Harvey Elliott struck a stoppage-time winner and Mohamed Salah netted a landmark 200th goal for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp’s men came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory at 10-man Crystal Palace and move top of the Premier League.
The visitors were dominant but toothless throughout the first half and it was The Eagles who posed the greater threat. First, the returning Alisson produced a miraculous save to deny Jefferson Lerma before an on-field review saw a penalty award eventually overturned for a foul on Wataru Endo in the build-up.
Roy Hodgson’s side continued to look the more likely following the restart and this time VAR intervened to help award a spot kick after Jarell Quansah was adjudged to have kicked substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Mateta converted the penalty himself just shy of the hour and the hosts looked on course for the three points until a second yellow card for Jordan Ayew changed the complexion of the contest on 75 minutes.
Liverpool took advantage instantly with Salah’s deflected strike 60 seconds later seeing him become the fifth Reds player to plunder 200 goals for the club across all competitions. It also took the Egyptian to 150 Premier League goals overall.
The visitors moved up a gear from that moment on and substitute Elliott fired a wonderful winner from 25 yards out to steal the points in injury time.
The result means The Merseysiders move a point above second-placed Arsenal who take on third-placed Aston Villa later this evening. Palace remain 14th, seven points above the drop zone.
Liverpool will now switch their attention to their final UEFA Europa League Group E match at Union Saint-Gilloise prior to hosting Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Crystal Palace visit champions Manchester City on Saturday.
