Crystal Palace ended Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a stunning 2-1 victory on Saturday, thanks to a dramatic late strike from Eddie Nketiah.
Palace fans erupted in celebration when Nketiah converted in the 97th minute, sealing all three points and moving the Eagles closer to the top of the table.
How the Drama Unfolded
The game began with Ismaila Sarr opening the scoring for Palace in the first half, leaving Liverpool chasing the game.
Liverpool thought they had secured a point when Federico Chiesa equalized with a close-range finish in the 87th minute. But Palace had the last word.
A long throw-in from Chris Richards was flicked on by captain Marc Guehi, allowing Nketiah to tap in at the far post.
The goal stood after a tense VAR review for a potential offside, sparking wild celebrations inside Selhurst Park.
Palace’s Big Statement Under Glasner
The victory follows Palace’s penalty shoot-out triumph against Liverpool in the Community Shield earlier this season.
Manager Oliver Glasner’s side now sit just three points behind Liverpool in the league table, signaling their growing strength and ambition under his leadership.
