Chelsea Beat Champions Liverpool To Boost Premier League Top Five Push
Chelsea bolstered their bid to qualify for the Champions League with a 3-1 win as Liverpool suffered a Premier League title hangover at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Enzo Maresca's side took the lead through Enzo Fernandez's early strike at Stamford Bridge. Jarell Quansah's second half own goal was followed by Virgil van Dijk's late reply for Liverpool. Cole Palmer's stoppage-time penalty condemned the champions to only their third league defeat this season. While lacklustre Liverpool had little to play for after winning a record-equalling 20th English crown with a 5-1 rout of Tottenham last weekend, Chelsea had every incentive to secure a priceless three points.
