Commentary
It ends 2-2 at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea and Hull City just can't be separated. Well, it wasn't to be a Hull victory in this part of West London at the 19th time of asking, but they'll certainly take this result as Sergej Jakirovic's unbeaten side look set to shake up the Premier League as we know it. Despite conceding early with Morgan Rogers' seventh-minute accurate low drive, the Tigers fought back with a quickfire Mohamed Belloumi brace to head into the interval 2-1 up. First, the Algerian pounced on a looping Ryan Giles cross that Jorrel Hato failed to deal with. Then, after a Lewie Coyle chance, momentum continued as he was set up coolly by PL centurion Oli McBurnie to power past Emiliano Martinez a second time. After the break, the hosts looked determined to make up for first-half blushes against their newly-promoted foe, yet Reece James could only watch as Konstantinos Tzolakis pawed his free-kick out of the top-left corner. After this, Hull had the chance to stretch their lead to two, yet Martinez made up for the spillage of a Regan Slater shot with a fine save against McBurnie's follow-up. This came back to bite the Tigers, as not long after, in the 66th minute, Cole Palmer found Joao Pedro with a deft low cross, and the Brazilian powered into the roof of the net. There were late discussions regarding a potential Chelsea penalty for handball against Semi Ajayi, yet with nothing given, and considering the balance of play, a draw comes as a fair result. Despite bettering their 0.89 xG, Chelsea take a point and currently stay in fourth. A place ahead, a 1.49xG-beating Hull continue unbeaten despite conceding their first and second goals of the league campaign. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
FULL-TIME: CHELSEA 2-2 HULL CITY
The last kick of the game sees Palmer float the late free-kick over tamely.

Norton-Cuffy heads into the referee's book now late on, as he wipes out Estevao following a slick nutmeg on the counter from the Brazilian. He'll take that card over conceding a goal any day.
HANDBALL CLAIMS FROM CHELSEA! Estevao crosses from the left of the box, and it hits the hand of Ajayi. However, it looks like it's too close range! No penalty.
The right-sided delivery finds Herrington, but he can't head on target.
