Liverpool’s impressive unbeaten run hit a roadblock as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. This loss marks the first time Liverpool has failed to win under Arne Slot, ending their perfect start to the season. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored first for Palace, but Liverpool equalized through their usual goal-scoring threats before Tyrick Mitchell sealed the win with a late goal.
In a separate match, Manchester United faced a tough test against Brentford but managed to secure a win, contrary to the initial report of them being beaten. The Red Devils took advantage of Chelsea’s defensive mistakes, with Bruno Fernandes scoring his 100th Premier League goal. The match saw both teams reduced to 10 men, but United held on for the win, much to the relief of their manager, Ruben Amorim.
The victories by Crystal Palace and Manchester United highlight the competitive nature of the Premier League, where any team can have a good day and upset the standings. Meanwhile, Liverpool will look to regroup and continue their strong season, having still maintained a good lead in the league table.
