Liverpool faced off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier today as they looked to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Reds made a slow start to the contest and conceded the opening goal in the ninth minute when Ismaila Sarr found the back of the net. Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Federico Chiesa equalised for the Merseyside club in the 87th minute. However, Eddie Nketiah scored a dramatic late winner for the Eagles in injury time as the Reds crashed to a tough 2-1 loss away from home.
