Niamh Charles' header levelled things up for Chelsea in the 41st minuteChelsea's Women's Super League title hopes remain in their own hands after Sam Kerr's late winner gave them victory over Liverpool.
Kerr pounced on a rebound to give Chelsea the lead in the 86th minute.
Niamh Charles had levelled for the hosts with a glancing header after Emma Koivisto had given Liverpool a shock early lead.
Victory means the Blues are four points behind leaders Manchester United, with two games in hand.
The win kept Chelsea in position for a fourth consecutive WSL title in what continues to be a thrilling title race.
Kerr the hero for Chelsea
Chelsea's chance of a Treble ended when they were knocked out of the Champions League in the semi-finals by Barcelona last week, but the league title remains for the taking and they face Manchester United in the FA Cup final later this month.
This victory, though, was a tough one.
Emma Hayes' side dominated after falling behind, with Liverpool keeper Faye Kirby, making her WSL debut, impressively keeping out Guro Reiten and Kerr.
Chelsea found themselves level in the 41st minute when Charles headed home Eve Perisset's corner, but struggled after the restart.
Against a tiring Liverpool defence, Reiten had a goal disallowed for offside in the closing stages.
But it was Kerr, so often the hero for the Blues, who completed the turnaround, poking in a rebound after Jessie Fleming had hit the post.
More to follow.
