The Reds left Crystal Palace with just one point and saw their Premier League championship ambitions take a huge dent, much to the delight of the famous City fan

Manchester City fan and former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was quick to taunt Liverpool after their 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace gave his side a huge boost in the title race.

The Reds led by three goals at Selhurst Park but relinquished their lead in a frantic final 15 minutes, leaving Manuel Pellegrini’s side trailing the Merseyside club by a point but with two games in hand.

Gallagher voiced his disapproval of Luis Suarez, who was in tears after the dramatic cdraw shortly after the game.

“It was nice to see Suarez in tears at the end because he is a blatant cheat,” Gallagher said to talkSPORT. “It was an endearing image, Gerrard too.

“I can’t believe he [Suarez] won the Football Writers’ Award. They went 3-0 and got caught up in the emotion.

“Nobody wins by six or seven in the Premier League – unless you’re playing Tottenham or Arsenal.”

The Liverpool boss was left to rue his side’s poor defending in a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace which could hand the Premier League title to Manuel Pellegrini’s side

Brendan Rodgers believes that Liverpool’s Premier League title challenge is over and expects Manchester City to be crowned champions after the Reds slipped to an incredible 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday.

The visitors were three goals up with less than 15 minutes to play at Selhurst Park thanks to finishes from Joe Allen, Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez.

But an unbelievable comeback from the hosts, who pulled level through Damien Delaney and a Dwight Gayle double, saw the points shared, with Rodgers predicting Manuel Pellegrini’s side to wrap up the title with two home wins.

“I think that we needed to win tonight, that was the simplicity of it, to keep the pressure on Manchester City,” he told Sky Sports after the game.

“They’ve got two home games now, even if they’re two tough games, but we needed to win tonight so I think Manchester City will go on and win the two games and they’ll be champions.

“But for us, it has been an outstanding season up until now. For us to get to 81 points is a great achievement for where we’re at.

“We’re obviously disappointed now but we’ll go again. We’ve got a great game at Anfield now to finish the season and keep looking to build and develop what we’re doing.”

Rodgers was left to rue his side’s “poor” defending after they surrendered a three-goal lead whilst aiming to reduce the goal-difference deficit on City.

He said: “As you can imagine it’s very quiet [in the dressing room] and for 75 minutes it was an outstanding performance.

“We got the goals and the important thing was to win the game, to at least put some pressure on Manchester City but [I’m] very disappointed we conceded the three goals.

“It was real poor defending that cost us. They showed great spirit to come back into it. Even at 3-0 in the modern game it’s always a difficult score but, really, with the comfort we had in the game and the quality we showed to get 3-0 up … you’ve got to manage the game better than that.”

Liverpool handed Manchester City a potentially decisive advantage in the Premier League title race after losing a three-goal lead on their way to a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace.

The Reds took the lead through Joe Allen in the first half when the diminutive midfielder was left unmarked at a corner, with Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez striking once each in the second to give Brendan Rodgers’s side a clear advantage.

But the visitors let their lead slip, with first Damien Delaney hitting a deflected shot past Simon Mignolet and then Dwight Gayle notching another shortly afterwards.

Liverpool, shellshocked, were on the back foot and had a disastrous result confirmed just before the end of normal time when Gayle picked up Glenn Murray’s chested pass and finished coolly.
