Liverpool news

Late, late drama was the order of a hugely entertaining weekend in the Premier League. Arsenal snatched all three points at Newcastle thanks to Gabriel's 96th-minute header, while former Gunner Eddie Nketiah also struck at the death to hand Liverpool their first defeat of the season and continue Crystal Palace's incredible start.

Liverpool have been warned to brace themselves for "banging drums and smoke everywhere" when travelling to Turkey for a Champions League clash with Galatasaray. The Reds will be back in European action on Tuesday, with Arne Slot’s side being told - by a man who knows all about life at both clubs - that they must put any distractions out of their mind when entering the most hostile of environments.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk slammed his team-mates after a frustrating loss to Crystal Palace but the Dutchman thanked Alisson for keeping the score down, while hailing the Brazilian as the "best goalkeeper in the world". Liverpool suffered their first defeat across all competitions in the 2025-26 campaign as Eddie Nketiah's late winner helped Palace secure a crucial win.

Crystal Palace hero Eddie Nketiah received "thank you messages" from his former club Arsenal after he scored a last-gasp winner against the Gunners' title rivals Liverpool on Saturday. Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring for Palace before Federico Chiesa equalised in the 87th minute. Nketiah, however, stole the limelight in the end by scoring a crucial late goal.

Arne Slot has come to the defence of Alexander Isak after the £125million ($167m) striker was quiet on his first Premier League start for Liverpool as the Reds were defeated for the first time this season by Crystal Palace. Head coach Slot defended the Swede as he continues to return to full fitness, following a performance which was distinctly below-par by the majority of the side.

Liverpool had more salt rubbed into their wounds after a cheeky Crystal Palace supporter decided to troll them following his side's 2-1 Premier League victory on Saturday afternoon. The Reds' misery was compounded as their team bus was initially unable to drive away from Selhurst Park following their first defeat of the 2025-26 campaign.

Arne Slot singled out one Liverpool star for blame as the Reds went down 2-1 against Crystal Palace on Saturday in the Premier League. The loss at Selhurst Park also ended Liverpool's perfect start to the 2025-26 campaign as they suffered their maiden defeat of the season. Slot was understandably unhappy after the game as he dissected his team's performance.

Michael Owen has taken aim at Ibrahima Konate for the French defender's role in Liverpool's first defeat of the season away at Selhurst Park. Up until Saturday afternoon, the Reds had been unassailable in the Premier League, winning five of their opening five games and opening up a five-point gap at the top of the table. With Palace taking the three points, they climb to second in the table.

Arne Slot bemoaned Liverpool’s struggles defending set pieces as they suffered their first Premier League loss of the season against Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Reds were undone by a corner and a long throw as Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah put an end to the champions’ perfect start to the 2025-26 campaign in a 2-1 win for the Eagles at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the season as they slipped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace, who now stand alone as the only undefeated side in the Premier League this season. Arne Slot’s Reds were second best for the majority of the match as Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah proved to be the difference makers at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been praised for his 'perfect' handling of Hugo Ekitike's red card blunder against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup. The French striker opened his shirt, while celebrating a last-gasp winner which led to the referee showing him his second yellow card of the night resulting in his sending off. Slot later openly slammed Ekitike for his "stupid" behaviour.

A Spanish publication reported last week that Real Madrid want to sign Ryan Gravenberch, which would make sense, in fairness. Toni Kroos is still sorely missed at the Santiago Bernabeu after retiring after Euro 2024, as doubts persist over the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga to fill the void left behind by the genius German.
