Chelsea and Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge as the momentum swung between the two sides in an electrifying first half.

Liverpool started as the stronger side and completed a wonderful team move from their own box to play Mo Salah into space on the right wing. He curled a fine pass to the back post where Luis Diaz arrived to poke in the opening goal. Salah himself then had a second goal chalked off for the slighest of offsides before Chelsea started to respond.

A recycled cross from a corner allowed debutant Axel Disasi to scoop the ball past Alisson for the equaliser and Ben Chilwell believed he had the Blues in front with a fine finish just minutes later only for his effor to also get ruled out for an offside.

The second half saw Chelsea dominate the ball and create a couple more chances. Nicolas Jackson looks to be a solid centre-forward but needs to work on his finishing as a couple of opportunities went begging. In the end the teams couldn’t be separated and the match ended all square.

Half-time! Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

45+8 mins: Alisson spanks a goal kick up the pitch and the whistle goes to signal the end of the first half. The teams head into the break on level terms.

They’ve each scored and had a goal disallowed. It’s a very good game this one.

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

45+6 mins: Jota is strapped up and now has to spend 30 seconds off the pitch before he can return per the new regulations. Liverpool are down to 10-men for the time being as Chelsea come on the attack.

Alexis Mac Allister gives away a foul but Jota is allowed back on before it’s taken. Enzo Fernandez swings the ball into the middle of the box where Axel Disasi flicks it on.

Levi Colwill sprints towards the back post and punts the ball out of play.

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

45+3 mins: Diogo Jota is caught by a hefty challenge from Levi Colwill and the Liverpool forward needs a bit of treatment here. There’s a break in play so both managers take the time to give some updated instructions to their players.

43 mins: Chance! Reece James gets the better of Andy Robertson again as Raheem Sterling slips the ball to him on the overlap. James cuts the ball back into the middle where Nicolas Jackson pings a first time effort over the crossbar!

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

40 mins: Disallowed goal!

Chelsea think they’ve got themselves ahead as Ben Chilwell makes a fine run in between the back line and receives the ball. Trent Alexander-Arnold steps up to play him offside but allows Chilwell to get into the box, sit Alisson down and send the ball into the back of the net.

Alexander-Arnold’s decision is the correct one though as VAR shows Chilwell had leaned into an offside position before the pass came through to him.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool (Disasi, 37’)⚽️

37 mins: Chelsea are level!

The corner ball is whipped into the box and headed out to Raheem Sterling. He finds Reece James and on the right side and the Chelsea captain sends the ball back in.

Dominik Szoboszlai’s clearance comes to Ben Chilwell who nods it to Axel Disasi and the Blues defender turns it home!

36 mins: Better from Chelsea.

Jackson and Chukwuemeka link up nicely before the midfielder slides the ball out wide to Reece James. He puts a couple of crosses into the box but both are cleared away.

James then feeds the ball to Raheem Sterling who drives aclong the byline and pulls the ball into the box winning the Blues a corner when Trent Alexander-Arnold boots it behind.

Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool

33 mins: That was another brilliant move from Liverpool which cut through Chelsea’s defence with ease. Mauricio Pochettino could have a big job on his hands getting the Blues organised at the back.

Enzo Fernandez and Diogo Jota have a bit of a barny with each other and both men are put in the book.

31 mins: No goal! It an incredibly tight call, VAR rules that Mo Salah has just offside and the second goal is chalked off!
