When Liverpool arrived atCrystal Palace in late September, the picture could hardly have been rosier. The Reds had recorded five consecutive wins to open the campaign to lead the standings and raise confidence of back-to-back titles.

Their season started to come undone at Selhurst Park, with a late, late goal condemning the visitors to defeat.

Federico Chiesa's 87th-minute equaliser looked to have rescued the Reds a point after Ismaila Sarr's early opener, only for Eddie Nketiah's goal, deep into stoppage time, to end the visitors' unbeaten start to the season.

It was a third consecutive defeat in all competitions for Liverpool, after a midweekChampions League loss at Galatasaray.

Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City - 8th February 2026

Manchester City fought back to end their Anfield hoodoo in February, as late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland helped the visitors to three points.

Liverpool led when Dominik Szoboszlai slammed home a free-kick from distance, before Bernardo's equaliser set up a grandstand finish. In a chaotic conclusion, Alisson bundled over Matheus Nunes to concede a 93rd-minute penalty and Haaland kept his cool to convert.

There was still time for an incredible Gianluigi Donnarumma save from Alexis Mac Allister, a disallowed Rayan Cherki effort, and Szoboszlai red card. Absolute theatre.
