Premier League season kicks off with Chelsea and Liverpool settling for a 1-1 draw

In the Premier League season's opening match, the new Chelsea coach, Mauricio Pochettino, witnessed his reconstructed team display resilience to secure a 1-1 draw against Liverpool. The debutant defender, Axel Disasi, managed to level the score after Luis Diaz had given Liverpool the lead.

The game featured two teams that struggled last season. Diaz posed a threat to spoil Pochettino's first competitive game as Chelsea's coach, capitalizing on a precise pass from Mohamed Salah in the 18th minute to net a goal. Despite Liverpool's attempt to double their advantage, Salah's subsequent goal was disallowed due to an offside call.

Chelsea persevered through the pressure and managed to equalize in the 37th minute. Disasi, the French international recently acquired from AS Monaco, capitalized on a chaotic situation during a corner kick to slot the ball home from close range after a header from Ben Chilwell.

Although Chilwell managed to put the ball in the net soon after, VAR ruled that he was in an offside position. The second half saw Chelsea dominating possession but unable to secure another goal. As the game neared its end, a deflected shot from Liverpool's substitute, Darwin Nunez, nearly clinched a victory. [no_toc]
