""We can only blame ourselves for defending the way we did," Slot said in his postmatch news conference on Saturday. "One of our players ran out because he wanted to play a counter-attack, which was of no use because time was up, so it was only about defending. "One player was too offensively minded in that moment, which led to them scoring the winner and us losing the game.""
""Disappointing first half and disappointing end to the game. Once again, credit to Palace. It's not the first time we have lost against them," he said. "We have played them four times and we've won one, drawn one and lost two. It tells you how difficult it is to beat them. They deserved to be up two or three goals in the first half. "They created four really good chances, but the second half was much better for us and we created chances and not many teams do. It took a while for us to score. To concede another set-piece goal is disappointing.""
Crystal Palace ended Liverpool's five-game Premier League winning run with a 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park thanks to a last-gasp Eddie Nketiah winner. Palace took an early lead through Ismalia Sarr and dominated the first half, creating several strong opportunities. Federico Chiesa appeared to have equalised late for Liverpool, but a defensive lapse and one player's decision to push forward in stoppage time allowed Palace to score. Head coach Arne Slot said the team could only blame themselves for poor defending, lamented conceding another set-piece goal and noted Liverpool have struggled historically against Palace.
