Chelsea End Drought with Win over Premier League Champs

Chelsea ended their winless run against Liverpool, the 2024–2025 Premier League champions, with a crucial victory at Stamford Bridge. The Blues needed this result to boost their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

It marked Liverpool’s first defeat since sealing the title last week with a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Despite already being crowned champions, manager Arne Slot insisted his squad give maximum effort.

The win ended a 10-match streak without victory for Chelsea against their rivals:

• 5 victories for Liverpool
• 5 draws
• Chelsea‘s last win came about 4 years ago

Before kickoff, Chelsea honored Liverpool with a traditional guard of honour for their Premier League title.
