Premier League: Chelsea draw 1-1 with Liverpool on Pochettino's debut
Chelsea came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in a Premier League opener that showed the Blues have already made progress under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. In the marquee matchup of the Premier League's opening round, Luis Diaz put Liverpool ahead after a lightning counterattack in the 18th minute and defender Axel Disasi marked his Chelsea debut by scoring the equalizer from close range in the 37th.
