Crystal Palace Ends Liverpool's Unbeaten Run 2-1

A 97th‑minute Eddie Nketiah finish — a long throw‑in knockdown — gave Crystal Palace a dramatic 2–1 win over Liverpool at Selhurst Park, ending the champions' unbeaten start to the 2025–26 season. Ismaïla Sarr had put Palace ahead earlier. The result moved Palace up to second in the table. Liverpool manager Arne Slot singled out substitute Jeremie Frimpong — who came on around the 74th minute and was involved in the late sequence — for leaving his defensive post, and he warned that conceding from set pieces remains a growing problem; Slot was booked for leaving his technical area while disputing a corner. The match included a lengthy stoppage for a medical emergency in the crowd and offered painful lessons about game management and defending set pieces.
