Overview

• Eddie Nketiah struck in the 97th minute from a long-throw sequence at Selhurst Park to secure a 2-1 victory over Liverpool.
• Palace remain undefeated in the league despite three early draws and sit third, with Liverpool leading the table and Arsenal in second.
• The unbeaten sequence dates to April and includes marquee results against Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
• Arne Slot praised Palace’s set-piece threat, counter-attacks and compact defense, which has conceded just 12 goals during the streak.
• Glasner’s 3-4-2-1 has thrived despite off-field turbulence and the late sale of Eberechi Eze, with Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ismaïla Sarr and Yéremy Pino driving the attack.
