Slot: Liverpool 'can only blame' themselves for first defeat

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has admitted Crystal Palace "deserved" their late 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park and said his side "can only blame" themselves for the result.

Palace brought Liverpool's five-game winning streak in the Premier League to an end thanks to a last-gasp winner from substitute Eddie Nketiah on Saturday afternoon.

Oliver Glasner's side had dominated the first half, taking an early lead through Ismalia Sarr before Federico Chiesa thought he had snatched a late point for the visitors.

"We can only blame ourselves for defending the way we did," Slot said in his postmatch news conference on Saturday.
