Overview
- Liverpool’s 100% start ended 2-1 at Selhurst Park, reversing a pattern of late escapes that had defined their early season.
- Palace dominated the first half as Ismaila Sarr struck on nine minutes and Alisson Becker made multiple saves to keep the margin narrow.
- Federico Chiesa equalised in the 87th minute before Eddie Nketiah converted at 96:59 from a Marc Guéhi flick on a long throw, the latest Premier League winner on Palace’s record.
- Slot said poor defending was decisive, pointing to Jeremie Frimpong vacating his position on the final play as Liverpool’s set-piece frailties resurfaced.
- Oliver Glasner’s side extended their unbeaten run to 18 matches, moved second in the table and stand alone as the Premier League’s unbeaten team.
