Liverpool throw away three-goal lead

Liverpool threw away a three-goal lead and saw their Premier League title hopes dented after Crystal Palace fought back to claim a remarkable draw.

 

Joe Allen, Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez had put the Reds comfortably ahead within an hour.

But Damien Delaney and Dwight Gayle reduced the arrears before Gayle equalised with two minutes to go.

Leaders Liverpool are one point ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand and better goal difference.

City play Aston Villa at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday before ending their season with another home match, against West Ham on Sunday.

Liverpool, whose goal difference is nine worse than City's, host Newcastle on the final day of the season.
