Chelsea draws with Hull City as defensive errors continue at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea and Hull City finished in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, extending Chelsea’s winless streak for clean sheets to 20 league matches. Manager Xabi Alonso altered his defensive formation, but the team conceded twice, marking the fourth consecutive league match this season where Chelsea allowed at least two goals. Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro recorded goals for Chelsea, while goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made multiple saves to prevent a defeat. Alonso described the team performance as soft and noted that defensive transitions remain a significant area of concern. The club prepares for a match against Brentford this Friday before the international break.
