Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “It was a lot more nervy because of the goal. I don’t think we deserved to concede it in that fashion. [Crystal] Palace were much more in the game than the 2-0 showed. Is there a game we play where there isn’t talk point about the referee?”
On Daniel Munoz's goal: “The number of times I’ve played against a team and then a player is on the floor and the referee blows the whistle. It happened against Man Utd when [Alexis] Mac Allister was on the floor, they played on and Macca needed five stitches afterwards. I don’t blame them, by the way, the referee should stop the game.
"It's going to become a tactic to pretend you're injured so the referee stops the play. He did it about four times today. Munoz, I think it's 50-50 because some players wouldn't have taken the shot. Some players would stop and some would score. I don't blame him as much as I blame the referee."
On Andy Robertson's goal: “It was a great finish from both but from Alex [Isak], we’re used to that. It was a great counterattack for Robbo.”
On Mohamed Salah's injury: “Another win and another injury. It’s the story of our season. It’s too early to say but we all know Mo and how hard it is for him to leave the pitch. For Mo to leave the pitch, it shows you something but we have to wait and see how bad it is.
Liverpool goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, speaking to Sky Sports: “It was an unbelievable moment for me. I didn’t think I would play at Anfield in a Premier League game when I joined this club.
"I'm a massive [Crystal Palace] fan now, still, but I wanted to try and help the team as much as I can. I've trained for this. When you're playing behind of top players, it makes my job so much easier."
On injury before Palace goal: “The grass was really dry, and my knee got stuck in the ground. I didn’t know what to do. It didn’t punish us in the end, and the three points are massive.”
