"Crystal Palace have once again proven they have what it takes to beat Liverpool, triumphing over the reigning Premier League champions at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Ismaila Sarr broke the deadlock in the ninth minute, and though Liverpool got back level through substitute Federico Chiesa three minutes before the 90 were up, the points stayed in South London as Eddie Nketiah stepped off the bench for Palace to win it in the seventh minute of stoppage time."
"Backup goalkeeper Walter Benitez, defender Chadi Riad, as well as midfielders Cheick Doucoure and Caleb Kporha, were unavailable for selection for Palace boss Oliver Glasner. With Dean Henderson in goal, Liverpool-linked Marc Guehi captained the side from his position the back line, next to Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards. Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada played in the middle of the park, with Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell covering the flanks. Together with goalscorer Sarr, Yeremy Pino supported striker Jean-Philippe Mateta up front."
Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park courtesy of an Ismaila Sarr ninth-minute opener and a dramatic Eddie Nketiah stoppage-time winner after Federico Chiesa had levelled late. Palace started aggressively and created danger from set-pieces and transitions. Several Palace players were unavailable, prompting Dean Henderson to start in goal and Marc Guehi to captain the back line alongside Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards. Liverpool fielded Alisson with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in defence and a midfield of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. The decisive goal arrived in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
