Chelsea earned a vital 3-1 win over Premier League champions Liverpool, strengthening their Champions League push. Goals from Enzo Fernandez, a Jarell Quansah own goal, and Cole Palmer's late penalty sealed the victory. £53m summer signing Romeo Lavia impressed in his 10th league appearance, with manager Enzo Maresca and pundits hailing his impact after persistent injury setbacks.
When the final whistle blew at Stamford Bridge on May 4, 2025, Chelsea had delivered one of their best performances of a turbulent season, beating newly-crowned champions Liverpool 3-1. The Blues struck early, with Enzo Fernandez scoring just three minutes into the game. A Jarell Quansah own goal doubled the lead, giving Chelsea full control. Liverpool responded late with a Virgil van Dijk header, but Cole Palmer sealed the win with an injury-time penalty, his first goal in several matches.
The standout figure was £53 million midfielder Romeo Lavia, who was instrumental in Chelsea’s dominant display and despite making only 10 starts this season due to injury setbacks, the 21-year-old’s presence was widely praised. Head coach Enzo Maresca and pundits like Gary Neville emphasized how crucial Lavia is to Chelsea's balance and midfield control.
Chelsea now sit in a strong position to challenge for a Champions League spot, with three league games remaining against Newcastle, Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest while Maresca remained cautious, stating the job isn’t finished and the focus must remain game-by-game. The win also boosts morale ahead of their upcoming European fixture, where Chelsea aim to reach a continental final under Maresca’s aggressive, high-press system.
