Chelsea vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as points are shared at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool: Axel Disasi cancelled out Luis Diaz’s opener to ensure the teams each picked up a point

De Zerbi has 'already forgotten' Moises Caicedo as Chelsea and Liverpool fight for midfielder

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.

Liverpool appeal for a handball and VAR takes a look at it. Jackson’s hand is in an unnatural position but it’s very close to his body as he jumps into the air.

VAR decides it’s not a handball and Liverpool don’t get a penalty.

Both teams created six chances on goal in the first half though Chelsea had more shots on target (2) than Liverpool (1). The Reds will be more aggressive in the second half but this game is there to be won by both teams.

It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out.

HT Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

Chelsea dominated possession in that half with the home side in control of the ball 66% of the time. It was Liverpool who started as the better team though.

Luis Diaz opened the scoring and they thought they had a second only for Mo Salah to get flagged offside.

Chelsea then responded and utilised the link-up play between Reece James and Raheem Sterling to fantastic effect. Debutant Zxel Disasi scuffs a volley into the back of the net before Ben Chilwell had a goal ruled out and Nicolas Jackson belted one over the top.

All to pay for in the second half.
