Eddie Nketiah scored a late winner as Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park, extending their unbeaten run to 18 matches.”
Crystal Palace secured a statement 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Selhurst Park, with Eddie Nketiah’s late strike sealing the win.
Enzo Fernandez had given Palace the lead after heading in Reece James’ cross, but Liverpool looked poised to snatch a point when Federico Chiesa equalised late on. However, Oliver Glasner’s side responded in stoppage time, as Nketiah pounced on a loose ball following a long throw to score his first goal since May.
Palace were dominant in the first half, rattling the champions’ defence and striking the woodwork, with only Alisson preventing a heavier deficit. The result extends their unbeaten run to 18 matches across all competitions.
Liverpool, who have relied on late comebacks this season, produced one of their poorest displays under Arne Slot. Defensive lapses once again proved costly, with Ibrahima Konate struggling and marquee signing Alexander Isak missing chances.
Palace now turn to Europe, while Liverpool must regroup ahead of a crucial Champions League tie in
Turkey.
