Crystal Palace Stun Liverpool at Anfield in Carabao Cup Upset

Crystal Palace stunned Liverpool 3-0 in the Carabao Cup fourth round at Anfield on October 29, 2025, delivering one of the competition’s biggest upsets. Arne Slot’s heavily rotated side—missing stars like Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold—crumbled under Palace’s ruthless counter-attacking display. Ismaïla Sarr struck twice in the first half, exploiting Liverpool’s high line with clinical finishes, while Yeremy Pino sealed the rout with a curling second-half strike.

Sky Sports pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was effusive in his praise for 22-year-old Spanish winger Yeremy Pino, calling his performance “out of this world.” “He’s a wonderkid—fearless, composed, and lethal,” Carragher said, highlighting Pino’s vision, dribbling, and instinct. The Villarreal star, joined crystal palace on permanent transfer has four goals and five assists in 12 appearances, tormented Liverpool’s makeshift defense and earned viral acclaim.

The result ends Liverpool’s defense of the trophy and extends their winless run to four games, raising questions about squad depth and Slot’s rotation strategy. For Palace, it’s a statement win—their first at Anfield since 2017—and a sign of their growing ambition under Oliver Glasner. With Sarr and Pino firing, Palace are emerging as a genuine threat in both league and cup. Carragher’s glowing endorsement of the “wonderkid” only underscores the magnitude of Palace’s triumph on Merseyside’s biggest stage.
