Dean Henderson: The most important thing now is to recover from the setback as quickly as possible.

Crystal Palace, nicknamed the "Eagles," suffered a 1-3 defeat to Liverpool in the 10th round of the 2026/27 Premier League season, after a goal was disallowed and a penalty was converted by Nketiah. Dean Henderson stated that the series of counter-attacks and goals conceded were unacceptable, but also urged the team to recover from the loss.

In the 32nd minute, Daichi Kamada passed the ball into the box, and Jürgen Larsen scored with a low shot from close range, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. In the 40th minute, Szoboslow assisted McAllister with a free kick, who headed the ball into the net, giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Barkola crossed from the right wing, and Wirtz slotted the ball home in the penalty area, giving Liverpool a 2-0 lead over Crystal Palace. In the 89th minute, Wirtz assisted Isak to score, extending Liverpool's lead to 3-0.

In the final stages, Dario Osorio was brought down by Liverpool defender Kelkez Milos, resulting in a penalty for Crystal Palace. Nketiah then converted the penalty, pulling Crystal Palace back to 1-3.

Crystal Palace ultimately lost 1-3 to Liverpool at home. After suffering their fourth consecutive defeat, Crystal Palace currently sits in 20th place in the league table with 7 points.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson said, "This loss is very hard to accept because we were clearly much better than our opponents in the first half. We created some chances, and although we conceded the first goal, that goal was really unlucky."

“We also hit the crossbar with a shot, and then we exposed our old problem again in defending set pieces, which has always been our weakness. So we went into halftime 0-1 down, but the whole team was still full of confidence.”

Dean Henderson said, "In the first 15 minutes of the second half, we launched our own attacks, but we couldn't find a way to break through their defense. When we fell behind, we had to chase back with all our might, but they actually beat us on three counter-attacks, which was a hard-to-accept result."

"We couldn't get the ball into the opponent's goal, and it was especially frustrating when the game wasn't going well and the opponent seemed to be able to convert every chance into a goal. But judging from our performance in the first half, if we can play at this level every game, we can achieve a lot of good results. Now, we must pick ourselves up and start again."

Dean Henderson continued, "The most frustrating thing is that we were waiting for a lucky chance, like the ball just falling to our feet. And that chance didn't come until the 93rd minute. That decision probably shouldn't have been a penalty, but if we had had a similar chance in the first half, the situation would obviously have been completely different."

"If our first-half goal had been allowed, the game would have been different. But the most important thing now is to bounce back as quickly as possible from this setback and keep moving forward. In such difficult times, the whole team must stick together. Team cohesion is the key to overcoming challenges, and we will definitely bounce back strongly."
