Attackers squander chances, Chelsea draw with Liverpool

The highlight of the first round of the 2023/2024 Premier League is the clash between Chelsea and Liverpool. As expected, the match took place at a high speed right from the opening whistle. Coach Juergen Klopp's players entered the game with great enthusiasm and did not allow the home team many opportunities to attack.

In the 18th minute, the away team quickly scored after a beautiful combination. Salah passed Chilwell on the right wing before making a convenient cross for Luis Diaz to finish close to the goal to open the score. With the advantage, Liverpool continued to push up the squad and had more dangerous opportunities.

Chelsea and Liverpool share points.

In the 29th minute, Salah quickly escaped after Alexander Arnold's pass. He put the ball into Chelsea's net but VAR technology determined that this player was offside. When many people thought it would be a losing match for Chelsea, they scored. In the 37th minute, from Chilwell's pass, center-back Disasi rushed in and finished with his calf to equalize for the home team.

This goal gave Chelsea players a lot of confidence. They played well and started to approach Liverpool's goal more. At the end of the first half, Chilwell's goal was also disallowed for offside.

In the second half, Liverpool could no longer maintain their advantage. Chelsea players rose strongly and knew how to create remarkable plays. Enzo Fernandez helped the Blues' midfield play effectively. But the problem with this team was the decisive pass and the finishing.

Sterling and Jackson rarely handle the situations they are given the chance to play well. Chelsea's most dangerous move was when Chilwell was in an open position but he did not finish well when facing Alisson Becker.

Towards the end of the match, both teams made many substitutions but to no avail. Darwin Nunez played poorly when he missed Mac Allister's pass, and the home team's Gusto and Mudryk were not much better. In the end, the two teams drew 1-1.

Result: Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool
