Liverpool Gets Mocked After Defeat

Liverpool was mocked immediately following their 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace, when a home fan deliberately blocked the team bus by tying shoelaces across the road, causing chaos at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the 2025/26 Premier League season, falling 1-2 at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. This loss not only halted coach Arne Slot’s side in the title race but also led to a bizarre incident off the pitch that added to their embarrassment.

Right after the match ended, a Crystal Palace supporter prevented Liverpool’s bus from leaving the stadium. The fan casually knelt down in the middle of the road to… tie their shoelaces, creating a humorous scene amid cheers and jeers from other Palace fans. A video of the event quickly spread on social media, becoming a mocking topic as The Reds were taunted by the opposing fans immediately after their defeat.

Regarding the match itself, Crystal Palace showed impressive form. The home side took the lead when Ismaila Sarr capitalized on a mistake by Gravenberch. Liverpool equalized late through Federico Chiesa, but Palace secured all three points when Eddie Nketiah scored the winning goal in stoppage time from a long throw-in.

This victory makes Crystal Palace the only unbeaten team in the Premier League with 3 wins and 3 draws. Coach Oliver Glasner’s squad is flying high after eliminating Millwall in the League Cup and preparing for their Europa Conference League campaign against Dynamo Kyiv.

Meanwhile, despite the loss, Liverpool still boast an impressive start with 5 wins in 6 matches. Coach Arne Slot acknowledged that the biggest issue for the team currently is defending set pieces, as The Reds have repeatedly conceded goals from such situations.

Coming up, Liverpool face a tough away match against Galatasaray in the Champions League, followed by clashes with Chelsea and Manchester United. These upcoming games will be crucial for Arne Slot’s team ambitions this season.
