Liverpool vs Chelsea: 10-men Chelsea rescue a 1-1 draw against Liverpool to continue their unbeaten streak in Premier League- 10-men Chelsea defended with all their power in the 2nd half to rescue 1 point from the match. Chelsea went 1-0 up in the 1st half with a brilliant header from Kai Havertz. However, there was drama in the injury time of the 2nd half as Reece James cleared the ball off the line but got his hand involved. He was shown a red card and a penalty was awarded to Liverpool. Salah stepped up to score his 99th goal for Liverpool and equalize right before half-time.
Their first goals of the season conceded, their first points dropped. Still, little could separate Liverpool and Chelsea when the title contenders drew 1-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Chelsea should be the most satisfied after surviving playing half of the game at Anfield with 10 men after Reece James was sent off for blocking the ball on the line with his right hand.
But the equalizer scored by Mohamed Salah from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time — canceling out Kai Havertz’s header from James’ corner — was about as threatening as Liverpool got in front of goal.
The flare-up between both sets of players after the penalty was also about as fiery as it got.
The hosts were unable to breakdown a reconfigured Chelsea defense that held off the home threat through a disciplined defensive display.
It leaves Liverpool and Chelsea on seven points, and with Tottenham the last remaining side that can make it three wins out of three if it beats Watford on Sunday.
