Chelsea Beat Liverpool 2-1 At Stamford Bridge As Reds Suffer Third Consecutive Loss
Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, marking their third consecutive loss in all competitions and raising concerns over their Premier League form. Chelsea took an early lead in the 14th minute when Moisés Caicedo unleashed a powerful long-range strike. Liverpool responded in the 63rd minute through Cody Gakpo, who finished a clever setup from Alexander Isak to level the score. The Blues clinched the victory in stoppage time, with 18-year-old substitute Estevão converting a cross from Marc Cucurella. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was sent off for excessive celebration after the decisive goal. Despite missing several key players, Chelsea impressed with their resilience and creativity, particularly from Estevão and the other young talents in the squad. The win ends Chelsea’s recent poor run and intensifies pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot. The loss leaves Liverpool with growing concerns, having now dropped three consecutive matches, including defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, as the team struggles to regain its early-season momentum.
