Liverpool's new signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong both scored in the first half but were pegged back each time by goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and, after the break, Ismaila Sarr.
Mohamed Salah missed his second penalty in a week as one of three failures from the spot in the shoot-out and Justin Devenny scored Palace's fifth to make it 3-2.

"I love the big moments, I love being in that pressure moment. The homework we did on penalties was great," Henderson told TNT Sports.
"They have unbelievable players and have a great team but two trophies in three months is incredible.
"These emotions are fantastic. With them 2-1 up you think we are out the game. The manager said we'd get chances and we did."
