EPL: Chelsea lose 1-0 to Sunderland, Liverpool beat Palace 3-1

In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat against Sunderland in the Premier League. The match took place at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, and it marked the third time Sunderland had won in the league this season. Chelsea, under the management of Xabi Alonso, were aiming to secure a top-four finish to qualify for the Champions League.

However, they were unable to do so, as Enzo Le Fee scored a penalty for Sunderland in the 36th minute, following a foul on Brian Brobbey by Levi Colwill. Alonso expressed his frustration, claiming that Chelsea was not awarded a foul on Cole Palmer in the build-up to the penalty. Liverpool, on the other hand, bounced back from recent losses with a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace.

Alexis Mac Allister scored the opening goal for Liverpool in the 40th minute, and Florian Wirtz added two more goals before the end of the match. This victory marked Liverpool's fourth consecutive away win this season. Meanwhile, Brighton climbed to second place in the table after defeating Brentford 2-0 at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls' impressive start to the season has them within five points of league leaders Arsenal.
