What happened. Chelsea drew 2-2 with newly-promoted Hull City at Stamford Bridge, conceding twice despite Morgan Rogers opening the scoring after six minutes. It left Xabi Alonso frustrated four matches into his reign.

• Rogers put Chelsea ahead inside seven minutes.
• Hull impressed under manager Sergej Jakirovic.
• Defensive concerns grow louder after another two conceded.

Alonso's side must fix their leaky defence quickly as scrutiny intensifies early in his tenure.
