"Oliver Glasner's in-form Eagles went ahead through Ismaila Sarr's ninth-minute strike, after an in-swinging corner deflected into his path. And they could have put the game to bed in the first half, if not for a brilliant display from Alisson. The Brazil goalkeeper denied Yeremy Pino, Daniel Munoz and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who also struck the woodwork in an impressive first half from the hosts."
"The Eagles produced 2.45 expected goals (xG) from 16 shots, with 1.6 of that total coming in the first half, compared to Liverpool's 2.25 xG from 20 attempts. After scoring so many late winners of their own, Liverpool were on the receiving end of one. Timed at 96:59, Nketiah netted both the latest winning goal on record (from 2006-07) by Palace in the Premier League and the latest winner conceded by Liverpool in the competition."
Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park with Eddie Nketiah scoring a 97th-minute volley. Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring in the ninth minute from a deflected in-swinging corner. Alisson produced several crucial saves in an impressive first half to deny Yeremy Pino, Daniel Munoz and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who also hit the woodwork. Liverpool levelled through substitute Federico Chiesa in the 87th minute after missed chances from Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. Palace produced 2.45 xG from 16 shots, while Liverpool had 2.25 xG from 20 attempts. The late winner survived a VAR offside check and kept Palace unbeaten.
