Chelsea secured a crucial 1-1 draw at home to newly promoted Hull City, thanks to a late equaliser from striker Joao Pedro. The Blues' opening goal arrived in the 28th minute through Mohamed-Boulli Belloumi, who volleyed in Ryan Giles' cross, swapping fortunes with Hull. Back-to-back wins against Manchester United and Brighton had seen Chelsea score in each of their first three league matches this season, only for Hull to concede their first Premier League goal of the campaign.
Joao Pedro netted his equaliser with a well-executed left-footed shot inside the near post, following a pinpoint cross from Cole Palmer in the 66th minute. Despite numerous opportunities in the final stages, including a late volley from Willian, Hull's Mohamed-Ali Cho's deflected effort was saved, denying the home side a historic win.
