Chelsea draw with Hull, Liverpool held by Fulham and Villa remain winless

What the report says

Hull City came close to a Premier League upset at Stamford Bridge, drawing 2-2 with Chelsea in a match that underlined the visitors’ strong start to the season and Chelsea’s ongoing defensive problems. Al Jazeera, citing AFP, reported that Chelsea opened the scoring early through Morgan Rogers, but Hull responded through Mohamed Belloumi and later went ahead before Joao Pedro equalized just after the hour mark. Chelsea’s attack again looked lively, but the home side could not find a winner.

In other Saturday matches, Liverpool were held 0-0 by Fulham at Anfield, with neither side able to finish their chances. Al Jazeera reported that Fulham had the clearer openings, while Liverpool’s high-priced forward line could not break through. The result kept Liverpool unbeaten under Andoni Iraola, although they risk falling further behind the Premier League leaders depending on later results.

Aston Villa’s struggles continued with a 2-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, leaving them in the relegation zone and still without a league win. Forest also collected a notable result away from home, while their new manager secured his first victory. The article adds broader context on a busy Premier League weekend, including Crystal Palace’s loss to Ipswich and Brentford’s draw with Bournemouth, as the table begins to take shape early in the campaign.
