Crystal Palace thrashed Liverpool — 3:0

On October 30, 2025, in the Carabao Cup (English League Cup) Round of 16, Liverpool’s inexperienced squad lost 0-3 to Crystal Palace. Under the guidance of Arne Slot, the team mainly gave a chance to young players, but this proved ineffective against the visitors' experience.

Ismaïla Sarr scored a brace, while Yeremy Pino netted the third goal. In the opening minutes, Liverpool showed some initiative, but in the 41st minute, after an unsuccessful pass by Joe Gomez, the ball fell to Ismaïla Sarr, who struck it precisely into the bottom corner.

A few minutes later, things got even worse. In the 45th minute, Sarr escaped the defenders and lobbed the ball over Freddie Woodman, increasing the score to 0-2.

The hosts could barely mount an attack: Benítez saved the only effort from Federico Chiesa. In the second half, Arne Slot substituted several young players—Nallo, Lackie, and Gordon—but was unable to change the outcome.

In the 79th minute, Nallo brought down Devenni when he was through on goal and was shown a straight red card. In the 88th minute, Yeremy Pino surged down the left wing and scored the third goal with a precise strike into the far corner.

With this victory, Crystal Palace advanced to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, demonstrating solid and effective counterattacks. Liverpool, on the other hand, revealed problems with their inexperienced lineup.

This defeat is a worrying signal for the team, who exited the tournament without scoring a single goal. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
