Hull hold Chelsea, Liverpool fail to beat Fulham in Premier League
Hull held free-scoring Chelsea 2-2 at Stamford Bridge to go third in the Premier League as Liverpool failed to find a way past struggling Fulham in a 0-0 draw on Saturday.Many eyebrows were raised at the club record reported £45 million Forest paid Chelsea for Liam Delap after failing to make the grade at Stamford Bridge.
Hull held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, claiming third place in the Premier League, while Liverpool drew 0-0 with Fulham. Chelsea's front three of Morgan Rogers, Joao Pedro, and Cole Palmer showed promise but failed to convert their chances. In their last five matches against top-flight opposition under Xabi Alonso, Chelsea have scored 16 goals and conceded 12.
Hull had gone three matches without conceding a goal, but they were eventually beaten by Chelsea's defense, which failed to contain Rogers and Belloumi. Liverpool, despite being unbeaten under Andoni Iraola, could not break down Fulham's defense, who have had the upper hand in their recent meetings. The draw leaves Liverpool six points behind the Premier League leaders.
