GOAL: Disasi nets Chelsea equaliser on league debut

The clash of the titans is shaping up to be worth the hype. After Luis Diaz opening the scoring for Liverpool 20 minutes in, Chelsea found their equaliser through the most recent of their signings, Alex Disasi.

A header from the top of the box by Ben Chilwell dropped just in front of Liverpool's goal and the young French defender slid into the six-yard box to sweep the ball home past Alisson.

One of the poster boys for new manager Mauricio Pochettino's young Chelsea, signed from Ligue 1 side Monaco this summer for a reported €45 million, Disasi got his debut goal on his debut league appearance.

Chilwell thought he'd scored a remarkable second for the Blues just minutes after, but his run was mistimed and he was just caught offside in the VAR review. Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR in the opening half, with Mo Salah believing he'd scored Liverpool's second before disappointment struck for the same reason.
