Estevao hit extra time to get his third straight defeat at Premier League champion Liverpool.
The Brazilian slipped into the far post, sealing off Chelsea’s 2-1 victory that sparked wild celebrations after a thrilling clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The teenager’s initial goal was to ensure that Liverpool would enter an international break as the move from Palmeiras knocked him out of the top of the rankings.

Manchester United also beat Sunderland 2-0.
Amorim’s Rescue
Reuben Amorim Change has been heard And he got the results he desperately needed.
United’s victory, even temporary, may quiet speculation about Amorim’s position. He still has to lead United to back-to-back league wins after almost a year of responsibilities, but this was a step in the right direction.
“Of course, it’s really important to win the game and have a better feeling, but you need to forget about this game and go to the next game,” he said.
Amorim showed a ruthless side by signing a $84 million summer summer to Matheus Cunha, handing his first start to new goalkeeper Senne Lammens in a game that was considered another potential stumbling block after losing three of his six league matches.
These decisions paid off with first half goals and the first clean sheet of the season from Old Trafford’s Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesco.
This was just Amorim’s 10th victory from a 34-league match, and as he entered Saturday’s match he admitted it was “impossible” to continue his work if the outcome didn’t change.
That’s why the victory over Sunderland was important in the week that was criticised by United greats Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, ahead of an international break, which was traditionally a convenient time to make administrative changes.
“There’s always a lot of pressure, especially at clubs like this, but we’re always trying to take it in a positive way,” said Sesko, who scored in the second game after him. Move from RB Leipzig It’s worth up to $99 million. “We did that and we once again showed that we can play well what we can win the game.”
Arsenal of Roll
That’s four victories for Arsenal.
Penalty spots Declan Rice and Buka Yosaka brought their first defeat to New West Ham coach Nuno Espirito Santo in Arteta’s 300th game.
“I wanted to win it and celebrate it, I have it,” Arteta said.
After a difficult start to the campaign, Arsenal returned to title hunt after three seasons as runner-up.
Saka, who scored in his 200th appearance for the club, is sure Arteta will deliver the trophy.
“We had some tough games in particular. We were in a strong Premier League spot and look forward to going back and pushing,” he told the BBC. “Mikel has made a huge improvement on my game and I am very grateful to have him as my coach. He will bring the club’s success.
However, victory was sacrificed one after another. Captain Martin Odegard injured.
Kudos descends the mark
Mohamed Kudus scored Tottenham’s first goal to keep Thomas Frank’s team high.
Kudus’ late strike from Box’s Edge secured a 2-1 victory in Leeds, moving the Spurs to third.
The Spurs have been unbeaten in all the tournaments in the past seven games, losing only once in the league under Frank, who they were in charge in the summer.
Kudus was one of Frank’s big signatures in the offseason, and was joined from West Ham.
The Spurs went through Matistel, where the deflected shot rocketed into the top corner.
Leeds was undefeated at home since February, but was equalized through Noah Okafor from close range on the 34th.
