Suarez In Tears As Liverpool Blows Away Their Chance At Title

Brendan Rodgers's side yesterday blew a strong three-nil lead to draw 3-3 away at Crystal Palace.

The red came out strong as Joe Allen got of the mark for Liverpool with his first goal in the league and then SAS (Suarez and Sturridge) both scored to put the Reds three goals up as they chase Manchester City's huge goal gap.

But things began to go south for Liverpool at the 79th minute when Delaney's 25-yard shot deflected, and passed Mignolet.

Immediately after that Crystal Palace began mounting on the pressure on a tired Liverpool side, who were now in panic mode.

Dwight Gayle scored two minutes after Delaney's shot when Bolasie gave him a nice assist and then two minutes from the end Glenn Murray controlled a long ball to Gayle's path and the striker took his time to slot the ball well beyond Mignolet.

As Palace players celebrated, Liverpool players looked sad, as it dawned on them they might have just blown away their chance for a Premier League title.

Liverpool lead the table with 81 points with one game to go, City however have 80 points with two games to go.
