For the first time in over two years, Liverpool have legitimately claimed the top spot in the Premier League. The Reds secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Crystal Palace, with Mohamed Salah scoring his 200th goal for the club and Harvey Elliott netting a late winner in stoppage time.
Liverpool’s win puts them in first place, a position they haven’t held since September 2021 when they were overtaken by Chelsea the following weekend. Despite struggling with inconsistency in the previous season, Liverpool has made an impressive start this year, picking up 37 points from their opening 16 games. With Arsenal falling to Aston Villa, Liverpool’s win has put them ahead of the Gunners and in prime position for a title challenge. The Reds will face off against Arsenal on December 23rd, a crucial match that could determine the fate of the title race.
