(Video) Diogo Jota nets against Crystal Palace on 100th Liverpool start

Diogo Jota has opened the scoring in Saturday afternoon’s early Premier League matchup between Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

The Reds are looking to extend their lead at the top of the table with a win at Selhurst Park.

And although Oliver Glasner’s side started the brighter with Eddie Nketiah having a 22-second goal disallowed, it has been the away side who have taken the lead.
