Liverpool Secures Narrow Win Over Crystal Palace as Diogo Jota Shines

By Score More Sports Staff Liverpool continued their impressive Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Diogo Jota's crucial first-half goal secured the three points for the Reds, who remain at the top of the Premier League table, but the game was far from a walkover for the league leaders.
