98th minute! Palace beat Liverpool late on

What a thriller! Crystal Palace led for over 80 minutes against Liverpool, conceded an equalizer late on, but scored again much later - and this time finally won!(Bild: EPA/NEIL HALL)

Oliver Glasner continues to cause a sensation in English soccer! Crystal Palace won their home clash against defending champions Liverpool 2-1 on Saturday, inflicting a first defeat on the previously unblemished leaders after five victories and moving them three points behind the leaders.

It was the third win for Glasner's side, the only unbeaten team in the competition, and it felt even better thanks to Edward Nketiah's late goal in the 97th minute.

Bournemouth are third after a 2-2 draw at Leeds United. Manchester City were delighted to move up to fourth place, with Burnley losing 5-1 at the Citizens after the break. Erling Haaland once again shone in the Man City shirt, the star striker's brace taking his tally to eight goals after six league games. Chelsea suffered a setback when they lost 3-1 at home to Brighton after being outnumbered for a long time. Manchester United also lost at Brentford by the same scoreline.

Nketiah stung as "joker"
 For a long time, an early goal from Ismaila Sarr (9th) seemed to be enough for Crystal Palace to win. However, Federico Chiesa, who only came on as a substitute in the 74th minute, equalized for the Reds in the 87th minute, Liverpool's seventh goal of the season from the 83rd minute onwards.

All the more remarkable was the reaction of the home side, who were rewarded for a strong performance with virtually the last action of the game. Nketiah, a "joker", was again successful following a long throw-in and a header.

Glasner, who is usually very calm, was very emotional as a result. Just like in the Community Shield on August 10 - then in a penalty shoot-out - he and his team were able to bring Liverpool to their knees as underdogs.
