Chelsea entertained Liverpool at Stamford Bridge earlier this evening as they looked to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues made a good start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 14th minute when Moises Caicedo found the back of the net with a great strike. The West London club controlled the game well and went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Cody Gakpo equalised for the Merseyside club in the 63rd minute. However, Estevao ended up scoring a dramatic winner in injury time as Enzo Maresca’s men earned a last-gasp 2-1 win in front of their home fans.
