AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 68% possession vs a 44.8% five-match average
- xG 0.91 v 1.38: Hull City's was higher
- Belloumi struck at 28' and 34' to flip the match
Chelsea lead, then trail by the break
Chelsea went ahead through Morgan Rogers in the seventh minute, but Mohamed Belloumi scored twice to put Hull City in front before half-time. João Pedro levelled in the 66th minute, and the match finished 2-2. The point left Hull City third in the table and Chelsea fourth.
Plenty of the ball, little of the threat
Chelsea held the ball far more than usual: 68% possession, against an average of 44.8% across five matches this season. Their corner count was also well above their season average, which fits with sustained pressure around the Hull City area, even if it did not bring the goals.
Hull City carried the better numbers
The xG figures favoured the visitors, 1.38 to 0.91, and Chelsea's xG per shot of 0.08 was below their average for the season so far. Hull City also had the larger share of their shots inside the box, which suggests a side that were outpossessed without being outthreatened.
A leveller worth +1.0 FN xPts
João Pedro's equaliser in the 66th minute, created by Cole Palmer, was worth +1.0 FN xPts to a side that had been trailing. Palmer led the match in key passes. A point apiece was a fair reflection of a game in which each side held an advantage at different times, with Hull City third on eight points.
Player of the match
Mohamed Belloumi 7.9Strong
He scored twice in 60 minutes, with both of his shots on target.
Belloumi attempted only six passes, so his value came almost entirely from finishing. His goals in the 28th and 34th minutes turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead, and the second was worth +0.9 FN xPts. He was substituted in the 60th minute, and Chelsea's equaliser came in the 66th.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
