Chelsea snatched a dramatic 2–1 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, all thanks to a stoppage-time strike from teenage sensation Estêvão Willian.

The result capped off a thrilling Premier League weekend that also saw Arsenal climb to the top of the table with a victory over West Ham.

The Blues struck first through Moisés Caicedo, who fired home in the opening half to put the hosts ahead.

On the other hand, Liverpool fought back after the break when Cody Gakpo found the equaliser, setting up a tense finale.

Just as the contest seemed destined for a draw, Estêvão met Marc Cucurella’s cross in the 95th minute to deliver the winning goal, sparking wild celebrations that saw manager Enzo Maresca sent off.

Saturday Telegraph reports that the defeat was Liverpool’s third straight loss in all competitions, piling pressure on Arne Slot’s side.
