The last time Liverpool were at Stamford Bridge, fans danced around in the sun with balloons spelling out ‘20’ in the Shed End to signify the number of times they had been crowned champions of England.
Six months on, the only 20 in sight is the number of problems for Arne Slot – and that is a conservative estimate. After losing three games in a row for the first time in his managerial career, the Dutchman was left cursing and knowing his team are in a bit of a pickle.
For the third time in a week, the kings of the country were second-best and deserved to lose after falling to defeats at Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, this one coming in the 95th minute after Estevao scored late on to give Liverpool a taste of their own medicine.
