Liverpool were given a taste of their own medicine by Crystal Palace as Eddie Nketiah’s last-gasp winner wrecked their 100% start to the season.

The Eagles snatched a deserved 2-1 victory with the last kick of the match, just after Federico Chiesa thought he had rescued a point for the champions.

Since losing in the Community Shield to Palace, Liverpool had won all seven of their matches this season – and clinched victory in six of them in the 83rd minute or later.

But it was substitute Nketiah with the last-gasp heroics, prompting Palace’s usually reserved boss Oliver Glasner to go charging down the touchline in celebration.

Palace led when Ismaila Sarr struck in the 10th minute after Tyrick Mitchell and Yeremy Pino’s break down the left resulted in a first Palace corner.

Daichi Kamada swung in the cross and Marc Guehi – who would have been playing for Liverpool had they got their way on deadline day – challenged Ryan Gravenberch at the far post.

It was Reds midfielder Gravenberch who inadvertently headed the ball back into his own six-yard box, where Sarr was on hand to lash it home.

Liverpool quickly won a free-kick on the edge of the Palace area but had to wait six minutes to take it due to a medical emergency in the Arthur Wait stand.

When Mohamed Salah finally stepped up, his shot hit the defensive wall and Gravenberch’s fierce follow-up was superbly tipped on to the near post by Palace keeper Dean Henderson.

Liverpool’s Alisson Becker was by far the busier goalkeeper, though, keeping his side in it by denying Pino, Daniel Munoz and Jean-Phillipe Mateta in quick succession.

Ibrahima Konate, in particular, was having a torrid time at the back, which was compounded when he pulled back Mateta to earn a booking.

It was the type of display which highlighted exactly why Reds boss Arne Slot had pushed so hard to land England defender Guehi.

Yet Konate probably should have equalised with a free header from Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner which flew inches wide.

Palace twice came agonisingly close to doubling their lead in first-half stoppage time, when first another slick counter culminated in Mateta curing his shot against Alisson’s far post.

The French striker then blazed a volley over from eight yards before half-time.

After the break, Munoz just failed to convert Pino’s cross at the far post before Alisson came out quickly to block from Mateta again.

Liverpool should have been level on the hour but Florian Wirtz side-footed Szoboszlai’s cross straight at Henderson.

Then came what should have been Alexander Isak’s big moment, the #130million striker racing on to a ball in behind and jinking past Chris Richards, only to stab his shot wide.

However, with three minutes left the ball found Chiesa in the area and the Italian volleyed home, with the goal surviving a VAR check for handball by Salah.

Yet Nketiah had the last word when he tucked the ball away at the far post – with another VAR check for offside just adding to the late, late drama which this time did not go Liverpool’s way.

Rory McIlroy quietened the crowd – with words and actions – as Europe tightened their grip on the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black on Saturday.

The world number two swore as he responded angrily to being heckled repeatedly during the second foursomes session, but also let his golf do the talking as Europe increased their lead over the United States to 8.5-3.5.

McIlroy combined with Tommy Fleetwood to beat Harris English and Collin Morikawa for a second day in succession.

Their 3&2 win, coming after an emphatic 5&4 triumph on Friday, compounded the frustration for Keegan Bradley after the US captain was criticised for his decision to partner English and Morikawa.

McIlroy was subjected to regular taunts from the New York crowd as he addressed the ball, with comments such as ‘slice it’ or ‘miss it’ being quite common.

Having responded to abuse on Friday with what appeared an offensive gesture, he reacted animatedly on a couple of occasions on day two.

There was one outburst after he and Fleetwood won the second hole to level the match after a slow start, and another as he prepared to play what proved a decisive shot on the 16th.

On this occasion he stepped away from the ball and shouted back, telling one individual to “shut the f*** up”.

He returned to his stance and calmly hit a fine approach that allowed Fleetwood to hole for a birdie three and complete victory.

“I don’t mind them having a go but when you’re trying to hit a shot that’s tough,” said McIlroy afterwards.

McIlroy and Fleetwood had taken command their match by winning five holes on the front nine.

English briefly led a rally as the Americans won two back in succession but Fleetwood and McIlroy were not to be denied.

That secured Europe’s first point of the day after the Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Young had reduced the deficit by beating Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg convincingly, 4&2, in the opening match.

Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton won their second foursomes match of the weekend as they saw off Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay 4&2 after a strong performance on the back nine.

Rahm and Hatton were pegged back to all square after winning the opening two holes but regained control after the Spaniard chipped in from the rough for a birdie on the eighth.

Rahm said: “It wasn’t looking too bright for us – they had just squared the match – but it was an incredible, incredible moment.

“But there’s still so much golf ahead that I didn’t let myself get too high.”

Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland delivered another point after a dramatic conclusion to their clash with Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley.

After trading holes throughout, the match was level on 17 when the Americans failed to take advantage an excellent tee shot from Scheffler and Hovland halved with a superb long putt.

World number one Scheffler, who has lost his first three matches this week, then found a bunker at the last and the Europeans snatched a remarkable one-hole win.
