LONDON (AP) Liverpool hit the goal frame through Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah in a frustrating 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Saturday.

The draw lifted Liverpool into seventh place and six points off the Champions League qualification positions.

The Reds were unable to bounce back from their Champions League thumping by Real Madrid on Tuesday with a victory. Jota nodded against the post in the first half and Salah curled a shot against the crossbar in the second half.

The result represented a fifth draw of 2023 for Palace, which remained in search of its first win of the calendar year. Jean-Philippe Mateta also hit the post for the hosts.
