Estevao, teenage sensation, scored in added time to hand Chelsea maximum points in a 2-1 win over Liverpool in their English Premier League (EPL) encounter at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Cody Gapko had cancelled Moise Caicedo’s opener before the wonderkid’s last-minute heroics.
In a clash between Chelsea, the Club World Cup champions, and Liverpool, EPL champions, it was the Blues who look the better side from the first minutes, and they took the lead from Caicedo’s 20-yard strike into the top corner for 1-0 on 14 minutes.
Liverpool waited until the 63rd minute to restore parity, Gapko latching on to Alexander Isak’s knockdown to finish off for 1-1.
