‌Palace thoroughly deserved their victory after controlling the early exchanges and taking the lead through Ismaila Sarr's corner conversion. ‌However, Palace snatched all three points from a lengthy throw-in as Liverpool failed to cope with Will Hughes' knockdown back into the danger zone. "We can only blame ourselves for defending the way we did," said Slot before alluding to Frimpong's error. ‌"One player was too offensively minded in that moment, which led to them scoring the winner and us losing the game." One of our players in the last minute runs forward to maybe try to counter attack for a second goal but in that area the ball falls for a Crystal Palace player who scores."
