R. Firmino saved "Liverpool", "Arsenal" narrowly avoided defeat at home

Thirteen matches of the 13th round were played in the English Premier League at 17:00.

This season, the unbeatable Liverpool club achieved another important victory on the road. Jurgen Klopp's team defeated Crystal Palace in London after a tough battle.

After the first 45 minutes, the scoreboard showed two zeros, despite James Tomkins scoring a goal just before the end of the half. The Reds were once again saved by VAR – a foul on Dejan Lovren was noted during the goal.

Liverpool, who kept a clean sheet, bounced back in the second half as Sadio Mane scored a precise goal at the beginning of the half.

In the 82nd minute, Crystal Palace equalized the score thanks to Wilfried Zaha's goal, but Liverpool regained the lead just a few minutes later, with Roberto Firmino scoring.

This season, Liverpool, who have only dropped points in one match, have an 8-point advantage over their closest pursuers.

In another match, the London Arsenal team suffered another painful blow. The Gunners expanded the tie with the league's last placer, Southampton, only in the last moment, leaving them winless for the fifth consecutive time in the national championships.

Alexandre Lacazette saved the hosts in this battle, equalizing the result twice after the opponent's goals. The Frenchman scored his second goal in the 96th minute.

The Arsenal team, currently in 7th place, has settled for draws three times and suffered two defeats in the last five games.

In another match, the Leicester team, which secured a victory against Brighton, remains in the second position of the standings. Goals from Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy led the Foxes to their 9th win this season.

The remaining matches ended with victories for the Wolves, Norwich, and Burnley.
