Mahesh: Every single Hull's counter have started with a Chelsea back pass. Conte please take note

Princewill Nwosu: Conte insistence on playing 2 holding midfielders against a team u will have majority of possession is his greatest undoing

Ryan Mason warms the palms of Thibaut Courtois with a rasper from 20 yards after excellent scrapping from Jake Livermore secured the ball for the Tigers.

Biggest cheers of the day so far from the home fans.

Top defending from Markus Henriksen.

The Hull midfielder is isolated in an aerial duel with Diego Costa, but muscles his way to the ball first and heads away from inside the six-yard box.

That was a bit of a dolly.

Hull have defended so, so well. You have to defend that box with your life and that is what they have done.

A couple more minutes and it will have been a satisfactory first half for them.

Diego Costa shrugs his shoulders and slaps his thighs in frustration as Marcos Alonso fails to deliver the hoped-for cross from out on the left.

Frustrating so far for Chelsea.

Nemanja Matic flings himself after the ball, but Markus Henriksen has nicked it away from the Serb.

With the ball gone, Matic clears out the Hull debutant instead and sees yellow.

Great, last-ditch tackle from Curtis Davies, who swoops in to nick the ball off the toe of Eden Hazard as the Belgian latches on to a pass in the box.

Chelsea have been watertight enough at the back, but they are been pretty poor going forward.

Marcos Alonso nods well wide, David Marshall waving it on its way.

I think this is the right side of the line isn't it. Whereas piping in artificial fan noise..., external

Hull are defending well and making sure if Chelsea attack they have to go wide. 

They know with only Costa in the box, their two defenders can deal with that.

Victor Moses has his name taken by the referee. The Chelsea winger was a little over-eager into the tackle. As you might be, making your first start in more than three years for your parent club.

That was an important touch from Diego Costa, getting back and doing a defensive shift in the Chelsea box.

He shins a Robert Snodgrass delivery over his own bar with Dieumerci Mbokani lurking with intent behind him.

David Marshall stretches skywards and claims the cross safely

He made that look easy amid a Chelsea forward line of Brobdingnagian proportions.

Andrew Robertson gets up well to head behind in his own box. This is Chelsea's first corner and David Luiz and Gary Cahill have both rumbled up from the back...

Victor Moses slaloms into the Hull area, flashing a stepover and dropping a shoulder.

He goes down in a heap and it looks, on replay, as if Adama Diomande has caught Moses with a little trip.

Chelsea don't make as much of it as they might have done. Very commendable and sporting, but ref Anthony Taylor might have needed a little nudge there.
