Poor Chelsea defending sees Hull extend unbeaten run

Chelsea and Hull shared the spoils in an eventful 2-2 clash at Stamford Bridge, ensuring the visitors maintained their undefeated run to the Premier League campaign. The home side grabbed an early advantage when a swift break off an opposition corner allowed Morgan Rogers to beat Konstantinos Tzolakis at the near post.

However, defensive lapses from Xabi Alonso's men quickly turned the tide, as Jorrel Hato misjudged a bouncing ball inside the box to let Mohamed Belloumi level matters. Belloumi struck again shortly after when his perimeter shot took a deflection off Levi Colwill to beat Emi Martinez, giving Hull a brief taste of the league's top spot.

Martinez subsequently redeemed himself with an impressive close-range stop to deny Oli McBurnie a third for Hull, a reprieve Chelsea exploited past the hour mark when Cole Palmer teed up Joao Pedro to fire into the roof of the net. Late opportunities went begging at both ends as Rogers and Mohamed-Ali Cho hit efforts directly at the opposing keepers.

Ultimately, Sergej Jakirovic's squad held firm to claim a celebrated point from their most challenging fixture yet.
