Chelsea today played out a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Stamford in season opener.
Colombian winger, Luiz Daiz stretched out a boot to turn in a defense-splitting pass by Mohamed Salah in the 18th minute as the visitors attacked with lightening speed.
Few minutes later, Liverpool thought they had doubled their lead just over 10 minutes later but Salah was judged to have been offside before he put the ball past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, one of four debutants in Chelsea’s starting lineup.
Chelsea weathered the storm and equalised in the 37th minute when Liverpool failed to clear a corner and France international Disasi – signed this month from AS Monaco – swept the ball in from close range after a looping Ben Chilwell header.
Two minutes later, Chilwell rounded goalkeeper Alison Becker to put ball in the net but VAR ruled he was offside.
Upon resumptiuon of the second half, both teams tried to score but all effort to put the ball at the back of the net proved abortive.
The last five encounter between both sides have all ended in a draw in regulation time.
