Crystal Palace shocked Liverpool with a 1-0 win at Anfield, dealing a major blow to the Reds’ Premier League title hopes.
Eberechi Eze broke the deadlock for the visitors in the 14th minute, slotting home from close range to give Palace an unexpected lead.
Despite dominating possession, Liverpool struggled to capitalize on their chances, with Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Curtis Jones all squandering golden opportunities to equalize.
Late in the game, Palace had a chance to extend their lead, but Jean-Philippe Mateta was denied by a fine save from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, keeping the scoreline at 1-0.
Liverpool’s failure to find an equalizer resulted in their first home league defeat of the season, leaving Jurgen Klopp’s side two points behind league leaders Manchester City and trailing Arsenal on goal difference.
With Arsenal having a game in hand against Aston Villa, Liverpool’s hopes of claiming the title hangs in the balance.
