Liverpool now leads Arsenal by a point. The Gunners can regain the league lead when they play at third-place Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
Salah had evened the score with a deflected shot in the 76th. Palace had been reduced to 10 men just a minute earlier when Jordan Ayew was sent off.
The home team had taken the lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty in the 57th after he had been fouled by Jarell Quansah.
But, the game turned around when Ayew was shown a second yellow card.
Liverpool quickly capitalized as Salah struck his landmark goal. He became the fifth Liverpool player to reach 200 for the club.
Even then, Klopp's team looked set to drop points until Elliott's clincher.
Salah also moved up to 10th in the league's all-time scorers list with 150.
