Eddie Nketiah ends his Premier League scoring wait for the season, but his stoppage-time penalty can't save Crystal Palace from Liverpool.
England-born striker Eddie Nketiah, who has Ghanaian roots, got on the scoresheet for Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, but it came in a 3-1 Premier League defeat to Liverpool in Round 10. The goal was his first of the league campaign.
Nketiah came off the bench in the 72nd minute with Palace already well beaten. He kept his composure deep into added time, stepping up in the fifth minute of stoppage time to convert a penalty and give the home crowd something to cheer.
Liverpool had done the damage long before that. Alexis Mac Allister broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, and Florian Wirtz doubled the lead nine minutes after the restart. Alexander Isak then made it three in the 89th minute, leaving Palace with no route back into the contest.
For Nketiah, the strike should be a confidence boost. He will hope it is the start of a run in front of goal when club football resumes after the November international break.
