On 12 September 2026, Chelsea Football Club were held to 2-2 with Hull City.
That scoreline set an unwanted 65-year defensive mark for the club. This marks Chelsea's worst defensive outcome in a game for over six decades.
Manager Xabi Alonso gave his reaction after the final whistle. He said the team had no reason to argue. Alonso went further that the players must improve to prevent further defensive issues.
