A controversial last-minute penalty from Benteke sealed Liverpool's victory at Crystal Palace and revived Jurgen Klopp's faint hopes of a top four finish.

Benteke, on as a substitute, went down following a brief touch from Damien Delaney and Andre Marriner, the referee, pointed to the spot. Palace's fury was unabated and their anger was justified.
