Jurgen Klopp suffered his first loss as Liverpool manager, seeing his side beaten by Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Defender Scott Dann nodded in the winner nine minutes from time after the ball bounced up to him in the area.
The visitors had taken the lead through winger Yannick Bolasie, who smashed home from inside the box after the Reds failed to clear the ball.
Philippe Coutinho curled in Liverpool’s goal three minutes before half-time following Adam Lallana’s flicked pass.
Palace are quickly becoming Liverpool’s bogey team, inflicting damaging results on the Reds over the past three seasons.
In the the 2013-14 campaign, when the Reds were in the hunt for their first league title since 1990, Palace came back from 3-0 down by scoring three times in the last 11 minutes to dent their championship hopes.
Last season, the Eagles spoiled Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard’s farewell appearance at Anfield, winning 3-1 as they completed a league double over their opponents.
This time, boss Klopp experienced his first defeat in seven games since taking over from Brendan Rodgers.
