Estevao’s Stoppage-Time Winner Hands Liverpool Third Straight Defeat at Chelsea

Arne Slot links recurring defensive lapses to a side still bedding in new roles.

Overview

  • Moises Caicedo put Chelsea ahead with a long‑range strike before Cody Gakpo leveled in the 63rd minute, only for 18-year-old Estevao to seal it in the 95th.
  • The result makes it three defeats in eight days for Liverpool and leaves the champions second in the table, one point behind Arsenal, with Chelsea up to sixth.
  • Enzo Maresca was shown a red card for sprinting down the touchline to celebrate the late winner.
  • Slot has acknowledged basic errors and a decline in open‑play goals, noting that new signings and rotations have altered attacking roles, including for Mohamed Salah.
  • Chelsea finished stronger despite losing centre-backs Benoit Badiashile and Josh Acheampong to injuries during the match.
