Liverpool's hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League suffered a setback as Jurgen Klopp's side could only manage a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
In a game that lacked any real cutting-edge quality throughout, the stalemate perhaps felt like an apt result as Reds attackers Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo were forced to exist off scraps for the duration of the contest.
At the other end, the struggles of Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold could have handed Palace a rare win over Liverpool as some flawed defending saw Jean-Phillippe Mateta spurn two golden chance.
