Chelsea’s 18-year-old forward Estevao stunned Premier League champions Liverpool with a 95th minute winner to hand the Reds their third defeat in a row under Arne Slot.
Moises Caicedo’s rocket of a shot from outside the box gave Chelsea a first-half lead at Stamford Bridge and Liverpool survived a penalty scare before the break when Alejandro Garnacho went down cheaply under the challenge of Dominik Szoboszlai.
Liverpool struggled to click in attack, with Mohamed Salah wasting a golden chance after the restart, but Cody Gakpo scrambled in an equaliser from close range following Alexander Isak’s touch in the box.
Despite Chelsea losing both starting centre-backs to injuries, Enzo Maresca’s side were able to find a dramatic winner. Estevao arrived at the back post to send Stamford Bridge into delirium.
Maresca was sent off for his celebrations, as Chelsea bounced back from consecutive defeats, and it leaves Arsenal top of the Premier League table after their 2-0 win over West Ham earlier.

Estevao Willian struck his first Chelsea goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time as Chelsea stunned Liverpool with a memorable 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
After consecutive Premier League defeats, this was a Chelsea display marked by guts and fresh ideas, and it ended spectacularly. Marc Cucurella got in down the left channel and crossed low to the far post where the 18-year-old Brazil international slid in to beat Andy Robertson to the ball and squeeze it home amidst uproarious scenes.
They had run Liverpool all over the pitch in the first half, taking the lead through a sublime long-range strike from Moises Caicedo.

Later on, after Cody Gakpo had pounced on Alexander Isak’s lovely controlled flick-on to equalise, they battled to close off avenues of attack as the champions found their confidence and their rhythm.
Having weathered the storm, the game ended with a goal that will be remembered for years – including by Madonna who watched from the stands – and the sight of Enzo Maresca sprinting down the touchline to join his players in celebration.
