Hull City remain unbeaten after 1-1 draw with Chelsea

Chelsea salvaged a point in a 1‑1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with striker João Pedro scoring a second‑half equaliser against newly promoted Hull City. The match, which finished 1‑1, saw the Blues take the lead through a well‑placed finish from a corner, only for Hull to level in the 66th minute with a goal from their own striker, forcing the game into a tense final quarter.

Pedro’s equaliser came after a defensive lapse, as he capitalised on a rebound from a Hull corner to slot the ball past the goalkeeper. The goal was the first of the season for the Portuguese forward, who has been struggling for regular starts following a long injury lay‑off. Despite the draw, Chelsea’s defense remained largely solid, with several key tackles and a clean sheet until the late stages of the match.

The result leaves Chelsea in a precarious position in the Premier League standings, while Hull City secure their first point of the campaign. Both teams will look to regroup ahead of their next fixtures, with Chelsea hoping to regain momentum in the coming weeks.
