Liverpool Concedes Late Goal Ending Perfect Premier League Start Against Crystal Palace

Liverpool’s 100% start to their title defence ended as Crystal Palace snatched a 2-1 win with Eddie Nketiah’s last-gasp strike after Federico Chiesa had appeared to equalise late on. Palace had taken the lead through Ismaïla Sarr in the 10th minute and frustrated the champions, with Liverpool keeper Alisson busier and Ibrahima Konaté having a difficult game amid talk of Liverpool’s interest in Marc Guéhi. The victory, coming after Palace beat Liverpool in the Community Shield, lifts Palace to second place, three points behind after six rounds. Manchester United meanwhile slumped to a 3-1 defeat at Brentford as Igor Thiago scored twice before Benjamin Sesko pulled one back. Bruno Fernandes had a penalty saved by Brentford’s Caoimhín Kelleher — his second missed spot-kick of the season — and Mathias Jensen added a stoppage-time third for Brentford. Brentford made several selection changes (including Dango Ouatarra and Aaron Hickey returning) while United started Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo amid absences and suspensions.
