Chelsea delivered a stunning blow to Premier League champions Liverpool, who suffered their third consecutive defeat after 18-year-old Brazilian Estêvão Willian netted a dramatic 95th-minute winner at Stamford Bridge.
The hosts took the lead in the 14th minute through a spectacular 20-yard strike from Moisés Caicedo.
Liverpool equalized in the 63rd minute when Cody Gakpo reacted quickly to score in the box after a touch from Alexander Isak.
Despite late chances for both sides—including an Enzo Fernández header hitting the post—it was substitute Estêvão who stole the headlines, turning in Marc Cucurella’s cross in stoppage time.
The goal, his first for the club, sealed a 2-1 victory for Chelsea and led to manager Enzo Maresca being sent off amid the wild celebrations.
The result leaves Liverpool one point behind new league leaders Arsenal, with Arne Slot’s out-of-sorts champions heading into the international break on a sour note after a miserable week of back-to-back league defeats.
Caicedo was named Player of the Match.
