In the 69th minute, Füllkrug scored the 1-1 equalizer, much to the delight o

• 'Core of Hull's promoted team vital for team spirit and togetherness'

  13-09-2026 13:31 via sports.yahoo.com
  
  [Getty Images]Regan Slater told me pre-match that togetherness and getting the basics right were the key factors to Hull City getting something out of a game against free-scoring Chelsea. The Tigers stalwart was spot on and, along with his team-mates, he certainly delivered. I'm sure I wasn't the only one in the press box thinking that after the Morgan Rogers's early goal, it would be a comfortable home win on Saturday. But, this Hull side under Sergei Jakirovic is made of stronger stuff. Yes de

It was no surprise to see him replaced at the break.Even after that though, the Blues back-line looked nervous and the fans seemed nervy every time Hull City p
