Premier League: Hull maintain unbeaten start with 'huge result' at Chelsea as Liverpool held by Fulham

Hull City maintained their unbeaten start in the Premier League after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea on Saturday. The Tigers went into the match having won one and drawn two matches, including a notable opening-day loss to Manchester United. Hull took the lead when Mohamed Belloumi scored twice in the first half, netting one goal and assisting another.

Chelsea managed to level the score with a goal from Joao Pedro with 24 minutes left. Despite Hull's efforts, they settled for a point, which would have put them at the top of the table had Manchester City and Arsenal not yet played. The result left Hull unbeaten in the league. Meanwhile, Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by Fulham at Anfield.

With only the goalkeeper to thank for their goalless draw, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola admitted that his team lacked freshness and offensive urgency in the match. The result left Liverpool in sixth place with six points.
