Liverpool, who had won all seven of their games since losing to Palace in the Community Shield, struggled to find their footing in the first half. Ismaila Sarr's early goal was not enough to secure a win, and the team was forced to rely on late goals to salvage a point.
However, Crystal Palace's determination paid off when Eddie Nketiah scored in stoppage time, securing the win for the Eagles. Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, acknowledged that Crystal Palace deserved the win, praising their first-half performance and commitment to the game.
Slot expressed frustration with his team's defending, particularly for the winner, which was made possible when a player switched off and left Nketiah unmarked at the back post. The loss marked the fifth time this season that Liverpool have conceded two or more goals in a game.
Crystal Palace's victory marked their 18th consecutive game without a loss in all competitions, dating back to before their FA Cup win last season. The team's manager, Oliver Glasner, was thrilled with the performance and praised his team's resilience and teamwork.
Glasner noted that the first half was one of the best performances by his team since he took over, and that they were able to maintain their composure even when Liverpool equalized and regained momentum.
The win has left Crystal Palace as the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, and the team's fans will have a great Saturday evening to look forward to.
