0-3! Without 130 million new players, Liverpool suffered a disastrous home defeat, three kills this season, and six losses in the past seven games.

In the early morning of October 30, a focus match in the fourth round of the 2025-26 English League Cup started at Anfield Stadium. Liverpool faced Crystal Palace at home. Wirtz, who is worth 130 million, was absent from the game. Salah, Van Dijk and Ekitic were also exempted from the game. Liverpool, who rotated the lineup, had no power to fight back. Sarr scored twice in 4 minutes to seal the victory. Pino added the icing on the cake. Crystal Palace won 3-0 away from home and defeated the Red Army for the third time this season.

Liverpool has had ups and downs this season. It once won 7 consecutive victories in all competitions, but has lost 5 of the last 6 games and has been squeezed out of the Champions League. Crystal Palace also climbed to second place in the standings at the beginning of the season, but after entering October, it only won 1 out of 5 games in all competitions and quickly fell to 10th place in the standings.

Liverpool carried out a large-scale rotation in this game. The main players such as Isaac, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitic and Van Dijk took a collective rest. Chiesa, McAllister and two young players Ngumoha and Morrison formed an offensive combination. Endo hung in the midfield, and Robertson and Kyle Ketz led the defense.

Crystal Palace is the main force, Nketiah serves as a single arrow, Pino, Sarr, Kamada Daichi and Munoz sit in the frontcourt, and Guey leads the three defenders.

In the 15th minute, Liverpool completed a decent offensive. Ngumoha cut in from the left and shot into the far corner from the front of the penalty area, slightly higher than the crossbar. In the 22nd minute, Robertson made a big-footed clearance and hit the frontcourt directly. Chiesa stopped the ball and entered the penalty area, forced a 1V2 shot, and hit the ball high again.

In the 28th minute, Ngumoha cut the ball in from the left. Chiesa shot from a small angle, but Benitez blocked it with his foot. In the 31st minute, Pino's cross from the left was blocked, and the ball fell to his feet. He took advantage of the situation and picked up the ball again. Will Hughes' volley from the top of the arc was too positive and was confiscated by Woodman.

In the 41st minute, Kamada Daichi made a long pass from the middle. Joe Gomez made a mistake in giving a gift due to interference. Sal smiled and gave a big gift and shot hard to score. Crystal Palace turned the guest over, 1-0!

In the 45th minute, Kamada Daichi started the offensive with a direct pass. Sal made a ball with his heel, then received Pino's cross kick and calmly hit a low shot. In just 4 minutes, Sarr scored twice and Crystal Palace expanded its advantage, 2-0! This season, he faced Liverpool three times in the Community Shield, Premier League and League Cup. Sarr scored in every game and scored 4 goals during the period. He was called the Red Army's number one nemesis. Slott covered his face in frustration on the sidelines.

After changing sides and fighting again, Liverpool did not make adjustments, but the Red Army, which mainly relied on substitute players, found it difficult to create a decent threat. Seeing that there was little hope of a comeback, Slott also knew it. In the 67th minute, three people were replaced in a row. McAllister, Robertson and Morrison were all replaced. Three new stars, Gordon, Lutsky and Amara Nallo, appeared on the stage, announcing that they had surrendered.

In the 80th minute, Liverpool's midfielder made a mistake in cooperation. Matetta sent a through ball. Amat-Nallo committed a tactical foul and brought down Devinney who was about to go solo. He was shown a red card for destroying the opponent's excellent opportunity. Liverpool was left with 10 men to fight.

Seeing this scene, many Liverpool fans could not accept it and left the game early. In the 88th minute, Gomez's ball from the backcourt was intercepted, Lerma passed through, and Pino succeeded in a pocket shot in the penalty area, and the score was fixed at 3-0!

Crystal Palace easily advanced to the next round, killing three opponents in the season and creating the largest point difference victory against Liverpool. As the Premier League champion, Liverpool has lost 6 of its last 7 games, which can be said to be a disgrace. It will be another tough battle against Villa on the weekend.
