Estevao’s 95th-minute winner stuns Liverpool as Chelsea seal a breathless 2-1 victory
Chelsea struck at the death to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, with Brazilian teenager Estevao Willian sliding in a 95th-minute winner to hand the champions a third straight defeat in all competitions. Moises Caicedo’s spectacular early strike put the hosts in control before Cody Gakpo drew Liverpool level after the break, but the decisive act arrived deep into stoppage time.
Marc Cucurella’s driven cross found Estevao stealing ahead of Andrew Robertson to turn it in and spark a blue eruption that swept head coach Enzo Maresca down the touchline, earning him a second yellow card. The finale capped a pulsating night that Chelsea largely controlled, even as Liverpool’s half-time reshuffle briefly tilted the contest back toward Arne Slot’s side.
