Hull draws 2-2 at Chelsea to climb to third
Hull held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, moving into third place in the Premier League.
Hull earned a point at Stamford Bridge despite Chelsea's attack. Mohamed Belloumi scored twice to put Hull ahead twice.
Pedro drilled a Palmer cross into the top corner to bring Chelsea level just after the hour mark, and neither side found a winner. Hull are now unbeaten and sit third, newly promoted to the top flight.
Only defending champions Arsenal and Manchester City are ahead of them. Chelsea have scored 16 goals in five matches against top-flight sides under Xabi Alonso but have conceded 12.
Their defensive struggles continue.

Why it mattersHull's unbeaten run shows newly promoted sides can compete at the top; Chelsea's attacking prowess is being undermined by poor defence.
