In a match that had every Premier League fan on the edge of their seat, 18-year-old Brazilian prodigy Estevao produced a stoppage-time winner to snatch a 2-1 victory for Chelsea over reigning champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. ⚽️🔥
The game looked set for a draw after Cody Gakpo equalized early in the second half following Moises Caicedo’s thunderbolt from outside the box. But in the fifth minute of added time, Estevao slid home Marc Cucurella’s cross to spark wild celebrations—and even earned manager Enzo Maresca a red card for his own outburst. 🙌
“Winning like that gives energy, trust, and confidence,” said Chelsea assistant Willy Caballero. “It’s unforgettable for Estevao.” The teenager’s finish ended Liverpool’s perfect start to the season and handed them a third straight defeat across all competitions, following losses to Galatasaray and Crystal Palace.
For Liverpool boss Slot, it’s another reminder of the fine margins in football: “Two tough away games, and the results haven’t gone our way.” As fans in South and Southeast Asia tune in—whether catching the highlights on their phones or livestreaming on the go—this result shakes up the table just before the international break. 🌍📱
Next up, Chelsea look to build on this momentum, while Liverpool will head into the break eager to bounce back. With young talents like Estevao emerging, every match promises excitement in this fast-paced season! 🔵⚽️
