00:00Welcome to Stamford Bridge for the meeting of Chelsea and Liverpool, two of
00:04the titans of English football, whose collision here provides a tasty
00:08concluding fixture to this autumnal Saturday in the Premier League. Chelsea
00:14six times champions of England, five in the Premier League era, Liverpool 20
00:20time winners of the title and the current defending champions.
00:26Caicedo, in range now, and whacks it into the top corner, in properly fulminating
00:38fashion, he was almost invited to shoot by Liverpool, and boy did he hit it, oh did he
00:47hit that, he was invited the first time and he declined, he took it on another
00:52yard, but when he hits it, it stays true and rising all the way into the top corner.
00:58You just watch Alexis McAllister here, diving in, chasing in between Gusto and
01:04Caicedo, that was that first chance he had to hit it where he didn't.
01:10Someone else has got to be stepping out a little quicker, everyone's backing away,
01:13backing off inside the box. Once McAllister puts himself out of the game, someone else
01:18has to front that up. The goalkeeper goes with the top hand in there, could he have gone with the right?
01:24Let's have a look from this angle, I mean it's some here at that. He goes with the top hand,
01:29doesn't get enough on it.
01:30Pedro Nato winning it from Kerkhez, that's a platform for Chelsea.
01:40Nato taking on Van Dijk and it's the stumbling figure of Kanata who concedes the corner.
01:46Excellent work to just pinch that ball off of Kerkhez and then just there,
01:51there aren't too many that want to have a go at Virgil van Dijk in this position as well,
01:57but he does exactly that, takes him on on the outside.
02:05Salah, outside of the boot, very nice, and the header from a delicious cross for Isak.
02:15Wasn't it just? Poor play there, João Pedro, too casual, a bit careless. How about this,
02:21outside of the boot, looking for Isak, who just peels in behind Achampong. Having got there,
02:28I think he might, he's trying to loop that almost back towards the far post.
02:3426 English league titles between the two of them. Liverpool with the overwhelming majority, 20.
02:40Here's Gakpo. Slipped in for Vietz with the touch and Salah!
02:48Well, nearly an immediate dividend from the introduction of Florian Vietz.
02:52What a brilliant touch it was from Vietz into the path of Mo Salah. I mean, that pirouette is so clever.
03:02Really good play, Cody, Cody Gakpo there. Watch Vietz, when he gets this one back,
03:06watch him spin, look, he knows exactly where Mo Salah is. Brilliant play, should hit the target,
03:11he really should.
03:13Sobos Lai, and then Mamadashvili.
03:19McAllister, into open space for Salah.
03:25Vietz, Herringford in support, it's still Salah, and he'll shoot,
03:30and he'll shoot it accurately into the Liverpool fans.
03:32The red shirt out there when Mo Salah picks the ball up and does something really positive.
03:37Initial touch is good, then he backs Badia Shiel up, skips all the way along the 18-yard line,
03:43looking for the angle, yeah, it's well wide.
03:46But that's more like Mo Salah.
03:58Salah.
03:59Sobos Lai.
04:06Isak and then Gakpo.
04:12Liverpool level.
04:16Salah involved, Isak two, Gakpo with the finish.
04:20It's 1-1 at the bridge.
04:21Oh, brilliant. Well done, Cody Gakpo, because he just kept going.
04:24He just thought something might be there. Isak's touch, he's trying to pull that out of the sky,
04:30and he does it really well from this angle, just to control that like that.
04:35But Malagusto ball watching for a split second, that's all it takes.
04:39The Cody Gakpo to just run past him, get on the end of that brilliant touch,
04:45and just smash it home from about five yards.
04:54Gittins, well found by James.
05:00Jamie Gittins lets fly, comfortable height for Mamadashvili.
05:04No questions to be asked by Esteval, who tries to curl it, and Mamadashvili makes sure.
05:13Right, two good saves that.
05:17Really good work. The first one from Jamie Gittins was hit early, that one from Esteval.
05:22I'm not sure it's ever coming back inside the post, but the goalkeeper's not aware of that,
05:27he just knows he's got to put something on it. This was the first one.
05:32Hato now, McGiu, Sobosai clears, not very far.
05:37Caicedo whacked it, and Mamadashvili helped it on its way.
05:42Yeah, he never quite got it like he did the one in the first half there.
05:46Caicedo, and it's straight out the goal, it's just above his head.
05:48And there's the chance. It goes begging off the forehead of Enzo Fernandes.
06:02Wow, makes a great run, it's just a fraction behind him.
06:08Watch him, just gets round the back of Chopper's light,
06:11and then he sort of has to arc his, bend his body and twist and...
06:14It's Kukurea, it's Esteval!
06:20And the boy from Brazil has won it for Chelsea!
06:24Wow. Well, for the last ten minutes we've seen both teams.
06:42And maybe this is part of his coming of age.
06:44I wonder whether Kukurea was offside initially. No, he's not. He's good. You can see there.
06:51He's comfortably onside.
06:54It's a brilliant finish. It's a really good finish.
06:57He's got it in the perfect position.
06:58And Kukurea's ball across the six-yard box is just wonderful,
07:02because it's got pace on it.
07:04And that's the one thing that Andy Robertson could do nothing about.
07:09Chelsea are going to settle and get all three here, which is a huge win for them.
07:13Second weekend in a row in the capital for the reigning champions,
07:17beaten in the 97th minute at Crystal Palace, and they've lost in the 96th at Chelsea.
07:23And 18-year-old Brazilian Esteval is about to be engulfed by his teammates
07:30and by the affection of Chelsea fans everywhere.
07:33They're struggling at the moment. Chelsea are bouncing.
07:36Chelsea 2, Liverpool 1.
