However, Cody Gakpo equalised for Liverpool after a defensive lapse from the hosts.

Despite losing control in some parts of the game, Chelsea kept pressing until Estevao’s decisive moment sealed all three points.

Injury concerns for Chelsea

The victory came at a cost for Enzo Maresca’s men, as Benoit Badiashile and Josh Acheampong were forced off with injuries late in the game.

The result lifts Chelsea to sixth place, while Liverpool withdraw to take the second spot in the league table.
