Chelsea entered the final minutes of their match against FC Salzburg searching for a crucial goal.
Raheem Sterling had opened the scoring with his curled finish from the edge of the box, only for Noah Okafor to equalise late on in the second half.
The draw leaves Chelsea bottom of Group E in the Champions League, having lost their previous game to Dinamo Zagreb.

Graham Potter, who was in charge of his first game as the new Chelsea boss, spoke on the result after the game: "We're frustrated with just the one point. I thought the application of the players and the attitude of the players was fantastic.
"I really enjoyed how they went about their work against a good opponent, an opponent that make it difficult for you. They attack quick and defend well.
"I thought in the first half we got Raheem into some good one-vs-one situations and created some opportunities, but they got some blocks in.
"We scored a good goal, and in the period we didn't control it as well as we had, we concede which is disappointing, but it can happen at this level.

"And then our response was really good. Their keeper has made a couple of saves, and we needed that second goal, but it didn't come. We're disappointed with one point."
Six minutes after the Salzburg equaliser, Potter decided to make some changes in the hopes of finding a winner.
The 47-year-old brought on Hakim Ziyech for Cesar Azpilicueta however, the former Moroccan international's introduction to the game was not welcomed by some of the home fans.
Ziyech was booed by some members of the Chelsea crowd, with the hosts struggling to find a winner.

His second half performance against Zagreb last week may have caused such a response to his substitution, with the attacker struggling to create chances away in Croatia.
He wasn’t the only player to have received such a welcome to the pitch, with Christian Pulisic also being booed when he came on for goalscorer Sterling.
Although the captain of the USMNT has only started one game for Chelsea this season, he has had limited impact off the bench so far in his other appearances.

Such boos may have come through frustration over the Salzburg goal, or due to the fact that both players were linked with moves away in the summer, which could suggest they are not fully focussed on the team and their minds may be elsewhere.
Chelsea had been impressive throughout most of the game and created chances but it was the same story once again; they didn’t take their chances.
As a result, the Blues now have a huge mountain to climb if they are to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
However, the squad now have a fresh chance to prove themselves in the coming weeks.

When a new boss takes over the side, the players can start on a clean slate.
Given Chelsea’s mixed start to the season, there is a case that many of the players would like to think that they have a fresh chance to impress.
However, the boos from Wednesday night will be a timely reminder to them that they cannot afford to be wasteful with chances any longer, or they could soon fall out with the fans.
Potter and his new side will now have to wait until October for their next game, a trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Chelsea have a squad stacked with talent, there is no denying that given their success over the last few seasons.
However, with the standards so high, there is a sense that frustration may be creeping through in regards to some members of the squad.
