Liverpool crashed to a third successive defeat as Estevao Willian’s last-gasp strike condemned the spluttering English Premier League champions to a 1-2 defeat against Chelsea on Saturday. Arne Slot’s side were rocked by Estevao’s close-range finish in the final seconds at Stamford Bridge after Cody Gakpo’s second-half equaliser (63rd min) had cancelled out Moises Caicedo’s  brilliant opener (14th min) for the Blues.

After making a perfect start to the season with seven wins in all competitions, including five in the Premier League, Liverpool have suffered an unexpected blip with shock defeats at Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea. Reds boss Arne Slot, once again, lamented the small margins that didn’t go Liverpool’s way, but admitted that the team must work harder in order to seal results outright.
