In a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday, Liverpool’s perfect Premier League start was undone.
After extending their club record to 18 games in all competitions without losing, including three games against Liverpool, Palace are now the only Premier League team without a win.

After being bailed out by a number of late goals in their first five league games, the English champions were finally forced to pay for yet another disjointed performance.
After Liverpool couldn’t turn a corner, Ismaila Sarr gave the FA Cup winners an early lead.
When Federico Chiesa headed home a loose ball in the box to give Liverpool the lead in the 87th minute, it appeared to be saved by a second late goal.
The Reds were anticipating a late winner this time.
With almost the final kick of the game, Nketiah put together a composed finish in a dense penalty area.
Palace moves to the top of the table after beating Liverpool by three points, moving them to second.
When Arsenal travel to Newcastle on Sunday, they can reclaim second place and close the gap on their title rivals by two points.
