WEARY REDS RUNNING OUT OF STEAM

Shock defeat completes a horror 72 hours for Klopp

JURGEN KLOPP says life after Liverpool might involve him learning how to become a chef.

But on the evidence of what his team served up here he may as well not bother, because this will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of the supporters long after Klopp has quit Anfield.

Liverpool have looked stale in recent weeks, and this shock home defeat by Crystal Palace appears to leave their hopes of winning the Premier League well and truly cooked.

A first-half goal from Eberechi Eze was enough to secure a deserved win for the visitors.

It was Liverpool's first league defeat at home since October 2022, coming just three days after Atalanta thrashed Klopp's men 3-0 here in their Europa League quarter-final first leg.

In less than 72 hours Liverpool's season has imploded.
