Eddie Nketiah’s dramatic stoppage-time goal seals a massive victory for the Eagles, handing Arne Slot’s Reds their first defeat of the season in a match filled with controversy.
Crystal Palace soared to second place in the Premier League after a dramatic, late winner from Eddie Nketiah shattered a resilient Liverpool side, handing them their first loss of the campaign on a thrilling Saturday afternoon at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles had taken a deserved lead in the first half when the ball fell kindly to Ismaila Sarr from a corner, and the winger made no mistake, smashing his shot past a stranded Alisson.
Liverpool, who fought back valiantly, thought they had salvaged a point in the 87th minute. Federico Chiesa fired home an equalizer, though the goal was shrouded in immediate controversy as Palace players furiously claimed a handball by Mohamed Salah in the buildup.
Just as the game seemed destined for a draw, Palace delivered a final, stunning blow. A long throw-in deep into stoppage time caused chaos in the Liverpool box, and Eddie Nketiah was the hero, reacting first to poke the ball home and send the home fans into delirium.
The result completely reshapes the top of the table. The day’s action continues with Tottenham Hotspur hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers, where a win would see Spurs close the gap at the summit. On Sunday, Arsenal travel to Newcastle United, a ground that has been a house of horrors for them in recent years, having lost on their last three visits.
