Comments:

This was new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s first game in charge of Chelsea. He became the fifth man to manage both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League; also Glenn Hoddle, Andre Villas-Boas, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. . The Blues remained without a win in nine consecutive home games in all competitions; their longest such run since April 1988 (ten games). . They had now won one of their last 12 games in all competitions (lost eight). . Ben Chilwell scored in the 39th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

Liverpool now remained unbeaten in their opening games in the last 11 seasons in the Premier League. .

Mohamed Salah scored in the 29th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
