Dramatic Chelsea win makes a statement and raises a question: Are Liverpool in crisis?

"LONDON -- A dramatic late winner from Estêvão lifted Chelsea over Liverpool 2-1 to deny the reigning Premier League champs the chance to return to the top of the table. Cody Gakpo thought he had rescued a point for Liverpool after an opener from Moisés Caicedo, but a strike from substitute Estevao in the 95th minute turned the game. Liverpool had surrendered top spot earlier in the day when title rivals Arsenal beat West Ham United 2-0, with the Reds remaining in second place."

"Are Liverpool in crisis? As the Chelsea players wheeled away to celebrate Estevao's late winner, the song "Chelsea Dagger" blasted out from the speakers at Stamford Bridge. Certainly, Liverpool will be wounded by this defeat, which could prove costly in their pursuit of the Premier League title. It is the first time in Arne Slot's tenure the Reds have lost three consecutive games and the first time they have lost back-to-back league games in over two years, since losses against Bournemouth and Manchester City"

"Caicedo gave Chelsea the lead when his shot from distance rifled past Giorgi Mamardashvili in the 14th minute at Stamford Bridge. Gakpo poked home from close range shortly before the hour mark but it was Enzo Maresca's side who went on to clinch the victory after Estevao tucked the ball home deep into stoppage time. -- Beth Lindop"

Estêvão scored in the 95th minute to secure a 2-1 win for Chelsea over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Moisés Caicedo opened the scoring with a long-range shot in the 14th minute. Cody Gakpo equalised from close range shortly before the hour mark. Arsenal's 2-0 victory over West Ham left Liverpool one point behind the leaders as the teams entered the international break. The defeat marked the first time in Arne Slot's tenure that Liverpool have lost three consecutive matches and their first back-to-back league losses in over two years.
