Liverpool are there now, close enough to mist and polish the Premier League trophy with their breath, after a fine victory over Crystal Palace that showcased this incredible team’s best qualities.

It is why they will be crowned deserved champions this season, sure, but also why they will go down as one of the greatest teams in this club’s history. Alexander-Arnold’s splendid goal meant that Liverpool maintained another record - that of scoring, now, in their last 31 home games. Liverpool were denied a clear penalty when Gary Cahill raised his arm to block a Firmino flick, and Jordan Henderson hit a post.
