"Liverpool crashed to their first Premier League defeat of the season against Crystal Palace away from home. The Premier League champions were beaten 2-1, thanks to a late goal from Eddie Nketiah in the dying minutes of the game. Crystal Palace scored the opening goal of the game early on through Ismaila Sarr. They have plenty of opportunities to increase their advantage during the first half of the game, but Alisson Becker produced a remarkable performance to keep his team in the game."
"Liverpool improved in the second half and created multiple opportunities to score, and they eventually found the back of the net through Federico Chiesa. It seems like they had stolen a point right at the end, but Crystal Palace managed to score from a corner in the final seconds of the game. Even though Crystal Palace scored a last-minute winner, they were thoroughly deserving of all three points. They were the far better team, and they should have won the game comprehensively."

One of our players ran out because he wanted to play a counter-attack, which was of no use because time was up, so it was only about defending., reports the Mirror."
