Crystal Palace’s impressive form has ignited the enthusiasm of the “Holmesdale Fanatics” at Selhurst Park, with the fans exuding confidence after witnessing Liverpool’s vulnerabilities exposed. Despite dominating the match for 34 minutes, Palace had only managed a 1-0 lead through Ismaila Sarr’s ninth-minute goal, thanks to some excellent saves from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson. The Reds looked shaky, and it could have been 6-0 at halftime if Palace had capitalized on their chances.
However, the visitors managed to level the score in the 87th minute through Federico Chiesa, leaving the outcome hanging in the balance. But in a dramatic turn of events, substitute Eddie Nketiah scored the winning goal in the 97th minute, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Palace. This win marked only the second league triumph over Liverpool in 17 meetings and the first at home since 2014.
The Selhurst Park crowd erupted in celebration, but such scenes are becoming increasingly familiar under the guidance of manager Oliver Glasner. The Austrian tactician’s side has been impressing, and this win over a strong Liverpool team only adds to their growing reputation.
