THE TIGERS GIVE CHELSEA A BIG FRIGHT.

The 2009- 2010 E.P.L season started with the Hull City visiting the rich and talented Chelsea. Phil Brown the Hull manager did admit that they escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth. Hull had signed Stephen Hunt from Reading just a few days earlier. And every time striker Stephen hunt would touch the ball , he would be booed and jeered. The reason for the Chelsea fans to show their hate on Hunt , is taken back to october 2006 when Hunt challenged Petr cech their goalkeeper, this challange led to Petr Cech getting a skull fracture and keeping Cech out for a few months , Cech now wears a protection helmet all the time. The first goal was scored by Hull and as the ball came of the feet of John Obel Mikael it was Hunt who scored on the rebound. The fans were all the more angry, Drogba had missed a early chance, but in a free kick Drogba scored a dipping free kick in the 37th minute. Deco was brought as a substitute and in the injury time Deco and Drogba exchanged passes and then lobed the ball over the Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill head into the net, but Drogba admitted later that it was a intended pass , a lucky goal that broke Hull hearts. Carlo Anchelotti was relieved , as last year in a draw between Chelsea and Hull in Februry 2009 saw the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scholari.Anchelotti was a releived man.
