Axel Disasi scored on his Premier League debut as Mauricio Pochettino's first competitive match in charge of Chelsea ended in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah almost opened the scoring against his former side, but his curling right-footed shot came back off the crossbar on 12 minutes.

The Egyptian was involved six minutes later as Liverpool did take the lead, with his exquisite threaded pass splitting the Chelsea defence and finding Luis Diaz, who slid the ball past Robert Sanchez to score.
Sanchez was handed his Chelsea debut by Pochettino, with Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, left out of the squad.

Salah then had a goal overturned for offside following a VAR review, before Chelsea pulled level on 37 minutes.
After Liverpool failed to clear a corner, Ben Chilwell headed the loose ball back into the area for fellow defender Disasi to finish from close range.
Chelsea thought they had completed their turnaround two minutes later, but Chilwell’s goal was also overturned for offside following a VAR review.
The Blues controlled large parts of the second half, and indeed recorded a possession figure of 65.4 per cent across the entire 90 minutes, their highest on record in a Premier League meeting with Liverpool since such records began in 2003/04.
Alisson produced second-half saves to deny Chilwell and another of Chelsea's debutants, Nicolas Jackson.
Salah, who had scored in all six of his season openers for Liverpool and only needed one goal to hold the outright record for the most goals scored on the opening weekend, was unable to find the back of the net and was replaced on 77 minutes.
Substitute Darwin Nunez came close to a stoppage-time winner for Liverpool, but his deflected effort went narrowly wide as both teams had to settle for a point.
