Patrick Vieira said the decision to award Liverpool a late penalty against Crystal Palace on Sunday was the wrong one and that it killed the Eagles' hope of a comeback.
The Reds raced into a 2-0 lead at Selhurst Park courtesy of goals from Virgil van-Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, though were pegged back at the start of the second half when Odsonne Edouard halved the deficit from close range.
Palace harboured hopes of a late leveller and brought on Christian Benteke, Jordan Ayew and Ebere Eze in a bid to snatch something from a game that had looked out of sight in the first half.
