Chelsea vs Liverpool

On Sunday, August 13, 2023, Chelsea and Liverpool marked their Premier League debut at Stamford Bridge with a 1-1 draw. The match featured a rapid start as Luis Diaz scored the quickest goal in Premier League history just 15 seconds into the game, courtesy of Trent Alexander-Arnold's ball recovery that set up the Colombian's finish. Chelsea responded in the 39th minute when Axel Disasi, making his debut, capitalized on a corner to equalize.

In the second half, both teams had opportunities to secure victory, but no decisive plays materialized. Notably, goals from Ben Chilwell and Mohamed Salah in the 68th and 88th minutes were disallowed due to offside calls.
