Hull continued their unbeaten start in the Premier League as they capitalised on some poor Chelsea defending to draw 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.Sergej Jakirovic joked pre-match that the only way to stop Xabi Alonso's potent attack was to kick them. While they were unable to do that, they made the most of some calamitous moments at the back to leave west London with a point. The hosts made the perfect start as a rapid counter-attack from a Hull corner ended with Morgan Rogers firing past Konstantinos Tzolakis at his near post.

First, Jorrel Hato let the ball bounce over him inside his own penalty area, inviting Mohamed Belloumi to pounce and find the equaliser.Belloumi was on hand to complete the turnaround moments later - putting Hull momentarily top of the league - as his strike from the edge of the box deflected off Levi Colwill and beat Emi Martinez. It should have been three as a spilled effort fell to Oli McBurnie, only for Martinez to make up with a remarkable stop from close range. It proved to be a costly miss as Cole Palmer found Joao Pedro before the Brazilian smashed an equaliser into the roof of the net just after the hour mark. Both sides had golden chances to win it, with Rogers and Mohamed-Ali Cho striking straight at the respective goalkeepers when goals seemed inevitable. However, it's was all smiles for Jakirovic and Hull, who came away from their toughest test of the season with plenty to be proud of. More to follow... The key moments from Stamford Bridge7: GOAL!
