"The Eagles snatched a deserved 2-1 victory with the last kick of the match, just after Federico Chiesa thought he had rescued a point for the champions. Since losing in the Community Shield to Palace, Liverpool had won all seven of their matches this season -- and clinched victory in six of them in the 83rd minute or later. But it was substitute Nketiah with the last-gasp heroics, prompting Palace's usually reserved boss Oliver Glasner to go charging down the touchline in celebration."
"Palace led when Ismaïla Sarr struck in the 10th minute after Tyrick Mitchell and Yeremy Pino's break down the left resulted in a first Palace corner. Daichi Kamada swung in the cross and Marc Guéhi -- who would have been playing for Liverpool had they got their way on deadline day -- challenged Ryan Gravenberch at the far post. It was Reds midfielder Gravenberch who inadvertently headed the ball back into his own six-yard box, where Sarr was on hand to lash it home."
Eddie Nketiah scored a last-gasp winner to give Crystal Palace a 2-1 victory, ending Liverpool's 100% start to the season. Palace took the lead through Ismaïla Sarr in the 10th minute after a left-side break and a corner, with Ryan Gravenberch inadvertently heading into his own box. Liverpool later won a free-kick but waited six minutes to take it because of a medical emergency in the Arthur Wait stand; Mohamed Salah's effort hit the wall and Gravenberch's follow-up was tipped onto the near post by Dean Henderson. Alisson made several important saves, while Ibrahima Konaté had a difficult defensive display that included a booking for pulling back Jean-Philippe Mateta. Palace manager Oliver Glasner celebrated wildly after Nketiah's late goal.
