Summary

Host Richard Garnett is joined by Paul Gorst and Mark Jones to react to a massive afternoon at Anfield as Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee With Aston Villa dropping points at Fulham, Arne Slot’s side has moved into fourth place, putting them in the driver's seat for Champions League qualification. We break down the goals from Alexander Isak, Andy Robertson, and Florian Wirtz that have put the Reds in a commanding position with just weeks left in the season. However, the win was overshadowed by a worrying injury to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian king was forced off with a suspected hamstring tear, and with reports suggesting he could face four weeks on the sidelines, we discuss whether we have seen the last of Salah in a Liverpool shirt before his summer departure. Also on the agenda: How Liverpool capitalized on Villa's slip-up to take control of their European destiny. Analyzing the impact of Mo’s injury and how Slot navigates the final games without his talisman. We look back at the bizarre Crystal Palace goal from Daniel Muñoz, scored while goalkeeper Freddie Woodman lay injured. Isak’s Impact and how the striker continues his fine form as he helps spearhead the late-season surge. #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.
