Overview

• Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, with Moises Caicedo opening the scoring from distance, Cody Gakpo levelling, and 18-year-old Estevao Willian netting his first Premier League goal in stoppage time.
• Manchester City’s Erling Haaland hailed Estevao as a “Wonderkid” on Snapchat following the teenager’s decisive finish, according to Mirror reporting.
• Jamie Carragher criticised Liverpool’s late-game control and questioned the decision to introduce Wataru Endo before the winner, while Arne Slot said the substitution was intended to restore control.
• Wayne Rooney questioned Mohamed Salah’s work rate against Chelsea, and other pundits flagged Conor Bradley’s rash defending and Milos Kerkez’s dip in form, with Craig Burley suggesting Andy Robertson could regain the left-back spot.
• Analysts cite disruption from heavy summer recruitment and the loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s passing and inverted role as key factors in Liverpool’s openness, a theme they must address during the international break.
