· Yahoo Sports
Chelsea's season of muted expectations presses on with a home clash against promoted Hull City that has not exactly gone according to plan.
Morgan Rogers' early strike set the Blues away in just the seventh minute in a clash where many felt Xabi Alonso's men should win despite the Tigers' early-season run.

A brace from Mohamed Belloumi before the break lifted Sergej Jakirović's outfit into the lead, but Chelsea's firepower turned up once more to level the score in the 66th minute thanks to a rifled close-range effort from João Pedro.
The 24-year-old Brazilian, who was shockingly left out of Carlo Ancelotti's Seleção squad at the World Cup, has been in sublime form under his new boss and is now joint leader in both goals (3) and assists (3) in the early doors of the 2026/27 Premier League season, thanks to his efforts today, which also included teeing up Rogers for the opener.
Combined with Palmer's return to form after a frustrating 2025/26 season, the Blues' front three have a combined 10 goals and nine assists across all competitions thus far under Alonso.
There may be questions at the back, but Chelsea unquestionably boasts the league's best attack.
