"Estevao struck in added time for Chelsea to inflict a third straight defeat on Premier League champion Liverpool. The Brazilian slid in at the far post to seal a 2-1 win for the Blues that sparked wild celebrations after a thrilling clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The teenager's first goal since his move from Palmeiras ensured Liverpool goes into the international break having been knocked off the top of the standings."
"Last season, we lost against Chelsea as well. Stamford Bridge is always difficult [to play at]. We were very close to a result. [It's all about] Small margins, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said. The Dutchman also went on to reflect on the defeats at Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday and at Crystal Palace last weekend. As I said at Galatasaray, we had a one-vs-one, then they get a penalty, he said. We conceded in extra, extra time against Palace. And then today, they score a goal that could go at either end."
"Of course, it's really important to win games and have a better feeling, but we need to forget this game and go for the next one, he said."
Chelsea secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Liverpool with an injury-time goal from teenager Estevao, his first since joining from Palmeiras. Moises Caicedo had given Chelsea a half-time lead with a long-range drive before Cody Gakpo levelled for Liverpool. The result extended Liverpool's run of defeats and left them off the top going into the international break. Arsenal moved into first place by beating West Ham 2-0 earlier in the day. Manchester United also won 2-0 against Sunderland, with manager Ruben Amorim making changes and insisting the focus must turn immediately to the next match.
