Hull hold Chelsea as Liverpool draw blank against Fulham
Mohamed Belloumi scored twice as Hull drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge, while Liverpool remained unbeaten under Andoni Iraola after a goalless draw with Fulham.
Hull City moved third in the Premier League after holding Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, with Mohamed Belloumi scoring both goals for the visitors.
Chelsea took the lead through Morgan Rogers after seven minutes, but Belloumi equalised when he capitalised on a defensive mistake. The Hull winger then put his side ahead with a deflected strike after Chelsea failed to deal with a corner.
João Pedro restored parity shortly after the hour mark, drilling a cross from Cole Palmer into the top corner. Chelsea could not find a winner, extending a run in which the club has reportedly scored 16 and conceded 12 in five matches against top-flight opposition since Xabi Alonso became manager.
At Anfield, Liverpool were held 0-0 by Fulham and moved to sixth, according to the supplied report. The result extended Liverpool’s unbeaten run under Andoni Iraola, but was met by boos from the home crowd.
Fulham had the better opportunities, with Gonzalo Garcia missing a clear first-half chance before Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker saved from Josh King. The point was Fulham’s first under Álvaro Arbeloa.
