Talk about DRAMA! 🎭 Chelsea’s 18-year-old Brazilian sensation Estevao became an instant hero with a stoppage-time winner against Liverpool, sealing a 2-1 victory that left Stamford Bridge erupting in chaos and joy. The Blues’ late-game magic pushed the Premier League champions out of the top spot – and even got manager Enzo Maresca sent off during the wild celebrations! 🟥
Here’s the tea: Moises Caicedo fired Chelsea ahead with a *rocket* from distance 🚀, but Cody Gakpo’s second-half equalizer had Liverpool dreaming of a comeback. Cue the plot twist: Enzo Fernandez hit the post in added time before teen prodigy Estevao – signed from Palmeiras this summer – slid in to convert Marc Cucurella’s cross. Cue pandemonium! 💥
"This win fuels our energy and trust in the process," said assistant coach Willy Caballero. For Liverpool? Three straight Ls 😬 – including a Champions League loss to Galatasaray – after their perfect start crumbled. Manager Arne Slot summed it up: "Fine margins aren’t favoring us."
With this result, the Premier League table just got SPICY 🌶️. Will Liverpool bounce back after the international break? Can Chelsea ride this momentum? Stay tuned! 📺
