Hull City continued their remarkable start to the 2026\/27 Premier League season after battling to an entertaining 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blues twice found the net through Morgan Rogers and Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/strong>, but a superb Mohamed Belloumi brace ensured Hull left London with a valuable point. The result keeps the newly-promoted Tigers third in the early Premier League standings, one place above Chelsea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Premier League fans in Kenya<\/strong>, the four-goal contest reminded them that Hull are not simply in the top flight to make up the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogers Gives Chelsea the Perfect Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea wasted little time imposing themselves on the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just seven minutes into the contest, Morgan Rogers<\/strong> continued his impressive start to life with the Blues. The forward fired a driven snapshot past Konstantinos Tzolakis at the near post to make it 1-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal also ended Hull’s hopes of becoming the first promoted club in Premier League history to record four consecutive clean sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea appeared firmly in control, but their inability to turn possession and pressure into a second goal proved costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belloumi Turns the Match Around<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hull responded brilliantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Giles sent a hopeful cross into the Chelsea penalty area, where the ball bounced awkwardly over Jorrel Hato and dropped perfectly for Mohamed Belloumi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belloumi calmly finished beyond Emiliano Mart\u00ednez to make it 1-1<\/strong>, extending Chelsea’s unwanted run without a Premier League clean sheet to 20 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hull wasn’t finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Semi Ajayi’s header crashed against the crossbar, Belloumi struck again, burying a deflected effort to complete a stunning turnaround in just six minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, it was Chelsea 1-2 Hull City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traveling Hull supporters responded with chants of \u201cwe’re going to win the league\u201d<\/em> as the Tigers temporarily climbed to the top of the live Premier League table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo\u00e3o Pedro Rescues Chelsea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea emerged after half-time determined to regain control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reece James came agonizingly close to an equalizer when his dangerous free-kick struck the woodwork, while Hull continued to threaten whenever opportunities appeared at the opposite end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 66th minute<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo\u00e3o Pedro<\/strong> found space inside the penalty area and rifled home from close range to level proceedings at 2-2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, the game opened up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogers had an opportunity to grab his second but fired straight at Tzolakis, while Mohamed-Ali Cho was unable to beat Mart\u00ednez as Hull searched for a dramatic winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither side could find the decisive fifth goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hull Prove They Belong in the Premier League<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final whistle confirmed another impressive result for Hull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their historical Premier League away record may make uncomfortable reading, with only one victory across their last 20 such trips, but their performances this season tell a very different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After already beating Coventry away from home, taking a point at Stamford Bridge represents another significant statement from the Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hull finished the contest third in the early Premier League standings<\/strong>, ahead of Chelsea in fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Chelsea, meanwhile, defensive vulnerability remains a major concern for Xabi Alonso. The Blues have now gone 20 consecutive Premier League matches without keeping a clean sheet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have also failed to win their last five home league matches against newly-promoted opponents, recording four draws and one defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea’s Dominance Over Hull Continues \u2013 Just<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite dropping two points, Chelsea maintained their long unbeaten head-to-head record against Hull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blues are now unbeaten across their last 18 meetings with the Tigers (W15, D3)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet this draw will arguably feel much sweeter for Hull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming to Stamford Bridge, recovering from an early setback and then threatening to win the game demonstrates the confidence running through the promoted side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belloumi, in particular, produced a performance to remember with his two first-half goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Full-time: Chelsea 2-2 Hull City.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea may have dominated periods of the contest, but Hull’s courage and clinical finishing earned them a deserved point at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belloumi’s quick-fire brace transformed the match after Rogers’ opener, before Jo\u00e3o Pedro rescued Chelsea in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Hull, this result strengthens the belief that their impressive Premier League start is more than an early-season surprise. For Chelsea, the attacking quality is evident, but until Alonso finds a solution to their defensive problems, points could keep slipping away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
