Commentary
Mendy has really come off worse here, with the Hull medical team racing onto the pitch to help the crumpled defender after his clash of heads with Pedro.
Chelsea's latest corner is nodded away by Ajayi. A secondary cross comes in for Colwill, but Egan gets it out. Chelsea keep coming and a brave Mendy has to divert a Joao Pedro effort over!
Gusto crosses from the right and Chavarria tries to nod back. There are handball claims, but the ball hit Coyle in the chest and went behind. Nice try.
JAMES! The Chelsea captain curls a beauty of a free-kick towards the top-left corner, and Tzolakis has to tip it away! He then does well to leap after the resulting corner and claim under pressure.

We have a second Hull yellow in quick succession, as Crooks clatters Rogers with a wild swinging challenge. It's really poorly timed and has given the Blues a free-kick in a decent area.
James tries to catch Tzolakis off guard with a fizzed free-kick to the near post. However, the Greek stopper is wise to it and scampers across his line to claim it well.
