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

Chelsea experienced a surprising 1-0 loss to Sunderland in the Premier League, while Liverpool bounced back with a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace. The match began with Enzo Le Fee scoring a penalty for Sunderland after Brian Brobbey was fouled by Levi Colwill in the 36th minute. Chelsea's coach, Xabi Alonso, expressed frustration over not receiving a foul on Cole Palmer, which led to the spot-kick.

Liverpool, who had recently suffered defeats in the Premier League and Champions League, started brightly with Alexis Mac Allister scoring from a Dominik Szoboszlai cross in the 40th minute. Bradley Wirtz added a second goal in the 54th minute, coming off the bench, and Alexander Isak secured the win with a goal in the 89th minute.

Liverpool's victory was their fourth consecutive away win of the season. Meanwhile, Chelsea's poor form continued as they had already suffered four defeats in their last 10 league games under Alonso. For Liverpool, the win provided crucial momentum after a two-game losing streak and highlighted their consistent away form this season.
