In a matter of 10 minutes, Liverpool went from padding their goal difference in anticipation of a final-day sprint for the title with Manchester City to surrendering three goals to Crystal Palace \u2014 each one more stinging than the last \u2014 and handing the title to Man City a week early in the process.<\/p>\n
