Liverpool’s turbulent start to the Premier League season took another hit as they suffered their third straight defeat, falling 2-1 to Chelsea in a dramatic encounter at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Manager Arne Slot acknowledged the team’s ongoing challenges, describing the squad as a “work in progress” following a series of underwhelming performances. The match saw Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo open the scoring with a stunning long-range strike, only for Cody Gakpo to level the score in the second half. However, Estevao Willian sealed the win for Chelsea with a stoppage-time goal, leaving Liverpool reeling. This marks the first time since 2023 that Liverpool have endured three consecutive losses, a streak that began under former manager Jurgen Klopp. Slot, experiencing his first managerial run of three defeats in a row, attributed the team’s struggles to a combination of summer upheaval, including significant player acquisitions and the tragic death of forward Diogo Jota. Despite spending over £400 million on new talent, Liverpool’s marquee signings have yet to make a significant impact. Slot emphasized the need for patience and integration, stating, “We need to bring these players into our style.” The Reds’ next challenge will be a crucial clash against Manchester United after the international break, as they seek to regain their footing in the title race.
