AND...

• The big game of the game week, Chelsea vs. Liverpool did not disappoint. After four meetings in a roll ending in a stalemate, fans were hoping for some change, and the game delivered. A quick start from Liverpool saw Salah hit the crossbar. A few moments later the Egyptian King found Luis Diaz with a sublime pass, as the Colombian poked it home from close range to give the Reds an early lead. Later on, Mohammed Salah had his goal chalked off for offside. The Egyptian unable to continue his streak of scoring in every opening day game since his arrival at Liverpool. The blues responded with a few chances of their own before finally equalizing thanks to a sliding finish from new boy, Axel Disasi. The Blues also had a goal disallowed for offside, as Ben Chillwell wandered offside courtesy of a pass from Enzo Fernandez after rounding the keeper to finish nicely. WHAT A GAME. Enzo Fernandez picked up the Man of the Match award after a fine display in the middle of the park.

Now we look to tomorrow's clash at Old-Trafford.
