Key Points:
  • Crystal Palace ended Liverpool's unbeaten run with 97th-minute Eddie Nketiah winner
  • Nigerian forward Chrisantus Uche remained unused substitute throughout the match
  • Palace and Liverpool were the only unbeaten teams entering the fixture
  • Ismaila Sarr opened scoring before Federico Chiesa's late equalizer
  • Victory moves Palace to second place with 12 points, Liverpool lead with 15
  • Uche has made only two appearances since summer transfer to Palace
