Andy Roberts returned to the squad after injury and Roberto Firmino got his first start of the season.

Then Liverpool got the first dangerous chance of the match after two minutes.

Kai Havertz with a sloppy pass that Mohamed Salah intercepted, but the shot went wide.

Halfway into the first half, Havertz would give the away team the lead.

Reece James hit a free kick against the front without, then the German was in front and nodded in 1-0 at the far post.

Shortly before the half-time break, "The Reds" were forced to replace Firmino due to an injury.

Liverpool equalized - Chelsea players sent off

And in extra time in the first half, it became messy in the visitors' penalty area.

Reece James cleared a ball on the goal line with his arm.

After a VAR review, Salah had to step up to the penalty spot - and as he easily pushed the equalizer to 1-1.

James was shown the red card despite protests from his teammates.

The second half did not offer much more in the match that ended 1-1.

Chelsea and Liverpool have played identically in the Premier League start.

Two wins and five goals each.

And that trend continues now when both teams get one point each after the cross match.
