Eddie Nketiah scored a stunning 97th-minute winner as Crystal Palace beat Liverpool again to go second in the Premier League to the delight of a roaring home crowd at Selhurst Park.
Federico Chiesa thought he'd grabbed a point for the visitors with a close-range finish with three minutes of normal time remaining after Ismaila Sarr's first-half opener.
But a long throw launched into the Liverpool box by Chris Richards was flicked on and Nketiah converted at the back post to send his side's supporters wild.
There were fears it may get scrubbed off - but after a nail-biting, paper-thin offside check, the goal was given and there was no time left to play.
Palace's penalty shoot-out win over Liverpool in the Community Shield had thrilled their fans but this victory, which moves Oliver Glasner's side up to second in the Premier League, is another big statement about where the Eagles are soaring to under the Austrian.
Powerful and piercing on the counter, committed and compact in defence, Palace excelled in all aspects, while Liverpool laboured and big-money signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak - on his first Premier League start for his new side - struggled to make an impact.
Despite all of that, Liverpool looked to have pulled off another late salvage job - regardless of questions over a potential handball from Mohamed Salah in the build-up.
Arne Slot may feel that decision going their way evened out controversy in the lead-in to Sarr's opener, when Palace were incorrectly awarded a corner.
But it was Palace who had the last word once again.
They're now unbeaten in 18 games - matching a club record going back to 1969.
