Anan Khalaili Scores First Premier League Goal for Crystal Palace
Anan Khalaili, a 22-year-old player from Haifa, scored his first goal in the English Premier League on Saturday for his team, Crystal Palace. He joined the club during the past summer transfer window.
Khalaili's goal came in a match where Ipswich Town defeated Crystal Palace 3-2, marking the fourth round of the Premier League season 2026-2027. Approximately 14 minutes into the game, Khalaili received a pass from teammate Daichi Kamada and scored from inside the box, beating the goalkeeper to his right.
Crystal Palace managed to score a second goal in the 75th minute, but it was not enough to overcome Ipswich Town's earlier goals in the 23rd, 45th, and 90th minutes. This loss leaves Crystal Palace with 3 points, having won one match and lost three, placing them 16th in the league standings.
Khalaili transferred to Crystal Palace in July from Belgian club Union SG, after a potential move to Italian team Inter Milan fell through due to strict medical examination protocols.
