Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon  defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park to end the Premier League champions’ five-match winning start to the season.

Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring for the London side as early as the 9th minute, but Federico Chiesa equalized for the visitors in 87th minute..

Just as it looked like Crystal Palace would pay the price for wasting a host of chances, Eddie Nketiah struck with virtually the last kick of the enthralling encounter.
