Liverpool coach Arne Slot lamented his team’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, attributing the result to “small details” and acknowledging the need to improve decision-making. Estêvão’s goal in the 95th minute sealed the victory for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, following previous goals by Moisés Caicedo and Cody Gakpo. This defeat marks the first time Liverpool has strung together three consecutive lost matches, after falling to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray. Slot commented on the match:
The technician added:“We also lost against Chelsea last season. Stamford Bridge is always difficult. We were very close to a result. Small details. As I said at Galatasaray, we had a one-on-one and then a penalty was called against us. We conceded in extra time against Palace. And today they score a goal that could have gone either way”.

Liverpool, which drops to second place in the Premier League table, also faces concern over the physical condition of defender Ibrahima Konaté, who was substituted in the second half. Slot explained:“After scoring the 1-1, the game turned in our favor and I think I was expecting us to score the second. The decision-making could have been better, the last 10-15 minutes were back and forth. We got to their area with Andy Robertson, we couldn’t control the ball, but again it’s small details, as it has been since I’ve been here”.

“I don’t know if it’s a serious injury, but what I do know is that he was limping a bit and when I asked him he said he felt his quadriceps a bit”.
