Chelsea FC 1-1 RB Salzburg LIVE! Champions League result, match stream, latest reaction and updates today

Chelsea vs RB Salzburg - LIVE!

Graham Potter’s Chelsea debut ended in a 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg as the Blues remained at the foot of Champions League Group E. Raheem Sterling’s curled strike should have handed new boss Potter lift-off at Stamford Bridge on his Champions League and Blues bow.

But a mistake from Thiago Silva opened the door for Noah Okafor to snatch a draw for Salzburg with a neat finish to cap a counter-attack. Chelsea were back in action after the Premier League’s weekend hiatus due to the Queen’s death, but the Blues could not atone for last week’s 1-0 Champions League loss at Dinamo Zagreb.

One point from two matches leaves Potter’s men bottom of Group E, with AC Milan top on four points. The Blues can still rectify their situation and reach the knockout stages, but will likely need to beat Milan home and away in their back-to-back matches with the Italians in October.
