Just four minutes after Palace took the lead through Ismaila Sarr, the Reds were preparing to take the set-piece just outside Dean Henderson’s box.
That was when a group of home fans on the halfway line began alerting Kavanagh to a situation around them.
Liverpool stars Virgil van Dijk, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah were seen calling on medical staff to rush to the stands.
Physios from both sides immediately joined up and sprinted across the pitch to attend the incident.
That took five minutes to deal with before the game restarted.
Applause rang around the stadium as the medical staff walked back across the pitch.
According to Sky Sports, the supporter looked fine and the game immediately resumed.
Security staff, stadium medics and stewards remained around the scene of the incident as the game carried on.
There are currently no more details as to what took place in the stands.
Nevertheless, medical staff had to run again to the end behind Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson’s goal for another emergency.
The next incident took place in the 37th minute but this time the game carried on
