Chelsea vs Liverpool: Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea in a thrilling English Premier League match on Saturday night, continuing a difficult run that included losses to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray in recent weeks. Despite their usual late-game heroics, Liverpool conceded a decisive goal in the 95th minute, scored by 18-year-old Brazilian-Turkish star Estevao.
Since the season began, Liverpool had established a pattern of scoring last-minute winners, but this time they fell victim to a last-gasp goal, losing first to Crystal Palace and now to Chelsea in stoppage time. Estevao’s goal came from a well-delivered cross by Marc Cucurella, beating Liverpool defender Andy Robertson and sending Stamford Bridge into celebration.
Chelsea, coming off two previous league defeats to Brighton and Manchester United, produced a strong performance to break their losing streak. They controlled the match with quick midfield passing and pressure, taking the lead in the 14th minute through Moises Caicedo’s superb 25-yard strike into the bottom right corner, out of the reach of Liverpool’s goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Chelsea vs Liverpool: Throughout the game, Chelsea’s defense effectively limited chances for Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo. Reece James played a key role in containment, while Chelsea’s organized pressing held firm. After halftime, Liverpool became more aggressive, and substitute Florian Wirtz quickly influenced the game, setting up Salah who narrowly missed a scoring opportunity. Liverpool later equalized when Alexander Isak controlled a cross from Dominik Szoboszlai and Gakpo finished with a shot to level the score.
Chelsea’s coach Enzo Maresca managed a starting lineup without four center-backs, with injuries forcing the introduction of young defender Jorel Hatto. Chelsea nearly extended their lead when Enzo Fernández hit the post from Estevao’s cross. But in the dying moments, Estevao slotted home a low cross from Cucurella to secure the victory. Maresca celebrated the late winner so passionately that he was sent to the referee’s stand Chelsea vs Liverpool.
Among the crowd, pop star Madonna was seen applauding Chelsea’s remarkable comeback. With this win, Chelsea climbed to sixth place with 11 points from 7 matches, while Liverpool dropped to second with 15 points, having lost important ground by dropping 6 points in two consecutive games. Arsenal currently leads the Premier League with 16 points after 7 matches.
