Chelsea vs Liverpool highlights: Daniel Sturridge earned Liverpool a last-gasp point at Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, his 89th minute strike cancelling out Eden Hazard’s fine first-half finish. Chelsea went ahead in the 25th minute when Mateo Kovacic sent a perfectly weighted ball from Chelsea’s half into the path of Hazard and the Belgian shot neatly past the left hand of diving goalkeeper Alisson into the bottom corner.

Liverpool remain unbeaten. So do Chelsea. Daniel Sturridge was on the pitch for less than five minutes before he scored a contender for the Premier League goal of the month, or even the season.
Moses takes the shot after Morata dispossesses Gomes. It is saved by Allison. The shockwaves of that Sturridge goal is yet to die down though.
STURRIDGE PULLS ONE OUT OF THE HAT! He takes the shot from 25 yards out and a seemingly impossible angle and it loops above Arrzabalaga's hands to go into goal.
Naby Keita shoots wide from 25 yards out. Daniel Sturridge replaces James Milner to try and score against his former club.
Wijnaldum with a terrible back pass to Allison. Morata chases it but Allison manages to get there in time and knock the ball out. Chelsea are frustrating Liverpool at the moment.
Milner loops the ball accross the face of goal for Van Dijk who heads it low. Arrizabalaga is in no position to make the save but David Luiz is there to clear his lines. Once again, Chelsea save themselves just before the ball goes over the line.
Robertson with a beauty of a low cross to Shaqiri who arrives in the danger zone in time. He stretches for the shot but ends up putting the ball wide. That was a chance and a half.
Giroud off for Morata but the move that comes from Liverpool is the important one. Salah taken off for Shaqiri. The Egyptian is yet to hit the kind of goalscoring form that made such a substitution at this stage of the game impossible to even think of.
Salah penalised for a foul, free-kick taken quickly and Hazard played in at the halfway line with not a single Liverpool played standing between him and goal. He races towards the box and takes the shot once inside it. Allison makes the save and the ball goes over the bar.
Willian with a misplaced pass that alows Firmino to take control of the ball inside the box. He passes it to Mane who cuts inside Luiz and takes the shot. Arrizabalaga gets down in time to make a brilliant save.
A poor start to the half from Liverpool. They allowed a Chelsea pass to travel accross the field to Hazard who got in space for scoring. Van Dijk makes a timely interception. Then Wijnaldum tries to make a pass to Salah and that only runs out.
Liverpool will wonder how it is that they have a '0' written against them on the scorecard. They had more possession and a number of chances to score but Chelsea have remained alert and dealt with the threats effectively. Then, they always have Eden Hazard in case they want to score a goal.
Alexander-Arnold's cross travels to Sadio Mane in the centre of the box, he takes one touch to flight and tries and overhead kick from the next. The shot floats over the bar.
A Chelsea counter after a Liverpool free kick is stopped when Mane fouls Hazard. Mane gets a booking for that.
Oooh Salah comes close to an equaliser. Salah wriggles away and rounds away from the Chelsea keeper. He then passes the ball into the unguarded net but Rudiger kicks the ball away just before it reaches the line.
It's hazardous Hazard again! Chelsea have scored and you could say, they have done so against run of play. Kovacic puts Hazard through and the Belgian ran towards the left, stretching the Liverpool defence more and more. He takes a low shot at the far post, Allison had his weight to the other side and he could not adjust in time. Chelsea draw first blood.
Liverpool corner taken by Milner. He flights it towards Van Dijk at the far post and the centre half tries to head into the mix, cleared away by Chelsea.
Van Dijk takes the ball away from Giroud and finds Firmino. The Brazilian passes it square to Mane who shoots wide from 20 yards. Thus far, Liverpool have been the better team.
Giroud tries to put Hazard but his pass is deflected, ricochets off a couple of bodies and Gomez clears it.
Chelsea get us underway at Stamford Bridge. Both sides are dressed in their regular colours. The home side are attacking from right to left.
Liverpool's perfect start will be tested like never before here. Not much else is required to be said here, lets get straight down to the brass tacks, as the Americans say.
