Overview
- Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring for Palace before Federico Chiesa equalised three minutes from time, and Eddie Nketiah hit the stoppage-time winner.
- The decisive strike followed a long throw and a brief lapse in Liverpool’s defensive shape that left Nketiah free at the far post.
- Palace controlled the first half and threatened to pull away, as Alisson Becker produced multiple saves and Jean-Philippe Mateta struck the post.
- Timed at 96:59, Nketiah’s goal is Palace’s latest Premier League winner on record and the latest conceded by Liverpool since at least 2006–07, leaving Palace as the league’s only unbeaten side.
- Oliver Glasner said his team “deserved the win” for their first-half control and collective effort, while Slot admitted “we can only blame ourselves” for the late defending.
