Chelsea Edge Liverpool With 95th-Minute Winner as Right Flank Exposed

The result deepens Liverpool’s slump, spotlighting a selection dilemma on the right.

Overview

  • Moisés Caicedo put Chelsea ahead before Cody Gakpo equalised, then Estêvão struck in the 95th minute at Stamford Bridge.
  • Marc Cucurella said Chelsea trained to exploit space on Liverpool’s right side, identifying Mohamed Salah’s positioning as an opening.
  • Wayne Rooney called right-back a "clear problem" for Liverpool, noting multiple players tried there and repeated half-time changes.
  • Arne Slot said Conor Bradley was taken off at half-time because he was on a yellow card and at risk of a second booking.
  • Salah has three goals and three assists in ten appearances this season, drawing scrutiny over his form and defensive contribution on that flank.
