As Chelsea nab thrilling statement win, Liverpool continue downward spiral

LONDON -- A dramatic late winner from Estêvão lifted Chelsea over Liverpool 2-1 to deny the reigning Premier League champs the chance to return to the top of the table.

Cody Gakpo thought he had rescued a point for Liverpool after an opener from Moisés Caicedo, but a strike from substitute Estevao in the 95th minute turned the game. Liverpool had surrendered top spot earlier in the day when title rivals Arsenal beat West Ham United 2-0, with the Reds remaining in second place going into the international break.
