Hull City stunned Chelsea by twice taking the lead at Stamford Bridge, with Mohamed Belloumi scoring both goals, before João Pedro's equaliser earned Xabi Alonso's side a 2-2 draw. The result extends Hull's unbeaten start to the season and leaves them third in the Premier League, while exposing Chelsea's ongoing defensive frailties despite their attacking talent, prompting manager Alonso to publicly criticise his team's lack of toughness without the ball.

Morgan Rogers put Chelsea ahead after seven minutes, but Hull hit back through Belloumi's quickfire double either side of the half-hour mark, exploiting soft defending from Malo Gusto and Jorrel Hato to lead 2-1 at half-time. Emiliano Martínez made two crucial second-half saves to deny Hull a shock win, while Chelsea remain winless against promoted sides in five home league games and are now conceding roughly two goals per match, a pattern Alonso admitted was "having an impact" on results.
