Liverpool's disastrous form shows no signs of stopping anytime soon as the Reds were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Christantus Uche and Crystal Palace

Super Eagles star Christantus Uche was a late substitute as Crystal Palace embarrassed Liverpool at Anfield to knock the Reds out of the EFL Cup.

Two goals from Senegalese sensation Ismailar Sarr helped Crystal Palace to a comfortable 3-0 win, with Yeremy Pino sealing the win for the Eagles, while Amara Niallo was sent off for the Reds.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace: How it happened

Crystal Palace once again proved to be Liverpool’s nemesis, cruising to a 3–0 win at Anfield and heaping pressure on Arne Slot after a bold but costly Carabao Cup gamble.

Slot made 10 changes, resting nearly his entire senior squad ahead of the Premier League clash with Aston Villa. Palace, however, were far too experienced and clinical for Liverpool’s youthful lineup.

Ismaïla Sarr continued his remarkable record against the Reds, scoring twice before halftime to make it seven goals in nine appearances against them. Both goals came from incisive Daichi Kamada passes, with Sarr finishing coolly past debutant goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.

Seventeen-year-old Rio Ngumoha was Liverpool’s brightest spark, testing Walter Benítez and creating chances for Federico Chiesa, but Palace’s composure and organisation were on another level.

In the second half, Slot’s side tried to rally, but Oliver Glasner’s men controlled proceedings effortlessly. Substitute Amara Nallo’s late red card summed up Liverpool’s frustration, and Yéremy Pino’s 88th-minute strike sealed the humiliation.

With six defeats in seven games, Slot’s decision to prioritise the league now looks increasingly risky. Palace, meanwhile, celebrated a third win over Liverpool in 80 days, continuing their dominance over the Reds under Glasner.
