00:00Full-time here at Sellers Park and Liverpool's perfect start to the Premier League campaign
00:05has come to an end and they got what they deserved, a 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.
00:12Palace definitely deserved it, the 97th minute winner from Etienne Ketia.
00:17You can't say that Liverpool didn't deserve to lose this game because they were poor for much of it.
00:23The first half, Palace should have been three, four goals ahead.
00:27They just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net.
00:29Alisson Becker making a few good saves for Liverpool, but it was probably more Palace being wasteful
00:35than Alisson making real top-of-the-the-top-draw saves.
00:39Liverpool fell behind in the ninth minute, a really poor goal to concede from a corner.
00:44Ryan Gravenberg got his head all wrong and now is his male asider to slam home from three, four yards.
00:51Liverpool, they must have somewhat of a response with Gravenberg, forcing a really good save out of Palace.
00:56Keeper Dean Henderson tipped his fierce effort onto the post, but Palace continued to threaten.
01:02I mean, two minutes after they took the lead, they should have scored and then Mateta was just bullying Ibrahim McIntyre at the back.
01:09He, you know, he had a chance.
01:13Did you forget that Palace had three chances? Mateta hit the post.
01:18Liverpool just could not get going whatsoever in the first half.
01:21The second half improved somewhat, but it went great, let's be honest.
01:25Florian Wirtz was atrocious in the first half, and we're going to be brutally honest.
01:30He just, he's so short of it physically at the minute.
01:34He's going to be a good player for Liverpool, but he was really poor, and then he should have scored, to be honest.
01:39When he was found by Dominic Sabosley, but lack of confidence, and he just hit his efforts straight at Dean Henderson.
01:48There was to say that there was some improvements in the second half, and the equaliser came before Liverpool.
01:54Liverpool, they've got a national score in late goals this season, and in the 87th minute, Federico Chiesa came off the bench,
02:02and that is an equaliser, what looked like it'd be Liverpool rescuing a point, but it's fair play to Crystal Palace.
02:10They rallied, and they got their rewards in the 97th minute.
02:14Liverpool didn't deal with a long throw, and there was Eddie and Ketty at the back post,
02:18a really composed finish to win it for Palace.
02:21Palace remaining the only unbeaten team in the Premier League this season.
02:27So many Liverpool players were offered today.
02:30You can go through a team, Kanata, he was woeful.
02:33Kirk has too inconsistent since he arrived, too many backwards and sides with his passes.
02:39Alexis McAllister's really struggling, didn't get going.
02:42Mo Salah, Anonymous.
02:44Alexander Isaac has one chance, starved a service.
02:47The chance he has, he created for himself, say, for all the inverters, his Liverpool career just hasn't got going yet.
02:58And Crystal Palace deservedly picking up three points today, and Liverpool have got to bounce back now.
03:03They go to Galatasaray on Tuesday in the Champions League, and then they've got to go to Chelsea the week after that,
03:09who were beaten by Brighton 3-1, and we'll be expecting a response.
03:12But, yeah, Anna Slott, surprisingly at the end, he was saying that one player tried to muster a counter-attack at the Palace throwing rather than sticking to defensive duties.
03:22I mean, looking at the replays, he might have been blaming Jeremy Frimpong in a roundabout way, but he didn't name his name.
03:29But looking at the replays, looks like Frimpong loses and Ketty at the back post.
03:33Well, look, Liverpool were poor, Palace, great performance from them, and they deserve three points, it ends at Crystal Palace 2, the Pearl 1.
