Chelsea exploits Liverpool Salah weakness in 2-1 Premier League win

Chelsea defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge with a stoppage-time winner from Estevao, assisted by Marc Cucurella. Chelsea deliberately exploited the space left by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah on the right flank, as Salah tends to stay forward, leaving defensive gaps that Chelsea practiced targeting in training under coach Enzo Maresca. Cucurella made an underlapping run into the box and delivered the decisive cross for Estevao's late goal, securing Chelsea's victory and climbing them to sixth place in the Premier League. Despite Liverpool's equalizer from Cody Gakpo, Chelsea controlled much of the game and showed resilience after recent tough fixtures. Liverpool now enters the international break having suffered three consecutive defeats, slipping behind Arsenal at the top of the league. Chelsea's strategic focus on Salah's positioning was a key factor in their comeback and success in this match.
