Overview

• Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park, with Eddie Nketiah scoring in the 97th minute after Marc Guéhi flicked on a long throw, overturning Federico Chiesa’s late equaliser following Ismaila Sarr’s opener.
• Slot said “we can only blame ourselves,” citing a final‑minute lapse in which a Liverpool player broke out for a counterattack instead of defending the set-piece.
• Both Palace goals stemmed from dead-ball situations, reinforcing a season-long concern for Liverpool after earlier concessions from set pieces against Newcastle.
• Palace extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 18 matches and stand as the Premier League’s only unbeaten side, with Oliver Glasner calling the first half his team’s best since he arrived.
• Alisson Becker’s saves and the post kept Liverpool in a one-sided first half, while struggles for Ibrahima Konaté and a low-impact display from new arrivals underlined lingering cohesion and defensive issues.
