Slot Admits Liverpool Defeat to Crystal Palace

Liverpool manager Arne Slot acknowledged Crystal Palace’s deserved 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park, attributing the defeat to his team’s own mistakes. The Palace ended Liverpool’s five-match winning streak in the Premier League thanks to Eddie Nketiah’s goal in the final moments of the match. Oliver Glasner’s team dominated the first half, taking the lead with a goal from Ismaila Sarr. Although Federico Chiesa seemed to have salvaged a point for the visitors, Palace took the victory in the end.

We can only blame ourselves for the way we defended.

Slot pointed out a tactical error at the moment of the winning goal, where a player broke away looking for a useless counterattack, neglecting the defense.

Reflecting on the second defeat of the season against Palace, Slot admitted Liverpool’s difficulties against Glasner’s team.

A disappointing first half and a disappointing end to the match. Once again, credit to Palace.

The Dutch coach also mentioned that, despite improving in the second half, Liverpool could not avoid the defeat. The Palace, thanks to this victory, moves up in the Premier League table and extends its unbeaten run to 18 matches in all competitions. Palace manager Glasner praised his team’s performance, highlighting the intensity of the first half and the ability to maintain focus after Liverpool’s equalizer.
