James Milner, Sadio Mane lead Liverpool over Crystal Palace

James Milner's first-half penalty and a late Sadio Mane strike gave Liverpool a 2-0 victory over 10-man Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah drew the penalty after getting tripped within the 18-yard box in the 45th minute by former Reds defender Mamadou Sahko.

Milner promptly converted from the spot to open his scoring account on the season and the 49th for his Premier League career.

Palace finished the match with 10 men when Aaron Wan-Bissaka was shown a red card in the 75th minute after a challenge on Salah, exiting the pitch on to a standing ovation from the Palace fans.
