Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 2: Milner and Mane secure victory at Selhurst Park

Jurgen Klopp's Reds moved up to second place in the embryonic Premier League table thanks to a battling win at Crystal Palace.

Goals from James Milner and Sadio Mane clinched a 2-0 victory at 10-man Crystal Palace as Liverpool maintained their 100 per cent record at the start of the new Premier League season.

The visitors had won on their last three visits to Selhurst Park but struggled on this occasion to open up the determined Eagles, managed by former Liverpool and England boss Roy Hodgson, in Monday's clash.

However, Milner crucially converted from the penalty spot after a foul on Mohamed Salah at the end of the first half, with Mane's breakaway goal wrapping up the points deep into stoppage time.
