Overview

• Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park as Ismaila Sarr scored early, Federico Chiesa equalised on 87 minutes, and Eddie Nketiah netted in the 90+7th minute after a Jefferson Lerma long throw was flicked on by Marc Guéhi.
• The result ends Liverpool’s perfect league start and makes Palace the Premier League’s only unbeaten side, extending their overall run to 18 matches.
• Slot said Palace “deserved to win” and criticised late decision-making, noting one player ran forward instead of defending the decisive throw-in.
• Both Palace goals came from dead-ball situations, underlining a recurring issue for Liverpool after also conceding twice from set pieces against Newcastle.
• Palace dominated the first half as Alisson Becker produced several saves to keep Liverpool in the game, with Oliver Glasner calling it his team’s best half since he took charge.
