Hello, we are back with another live blog, it’s Hull City vs Chelsea. Stay tuned for live updates.

Fans can watch the FA Cup 2025–26 Fourth Round matches live on Sony LIV.

And we are off! The first half bursts into life and Hull City waste absolutely no time making their presence felt.

Just two minutes in, Lewie Coyle rises on the right side of the box, straining to steer a header goalward from a really tight angle. It’s brave, it’s instinctive, but it doesn’t quite come off. The effort flashes across the face of goal and drifts wide to the left.

Early intent from Hull. No cagey feeling-out period here. They’ve started on the front foot.

Chelsea slice through with real purpose in the 16th minute.

Mamadou Sarr spots the run and threads a gorgeous through ball right into the heart of the box. Estêvão latches onto it, left foot loaded, space opening up in front of him, this is the moment. He pulls the trigger from central territory, but it keeps rising. And rising. Over the bar.

Big chance. The movement was sharp, the pass was delicious, but the finish? Not quite dialled in. Chelsea are knocking on the door now.

Forty minutes on the clock and Chelsea strike.

Liam Delap drops deep, draws a defender with him and rolls it into Pedro Neto’s path just outside the box. Neto takes one touch to set himself, you can see the space opening, and then unleashes a left-footed drive. It skims low, arrows toward the corner and nestles into the bottom right.

No saving that. Pure precision.

Hull City are stunned, Chelsea are ahead, and Pedro Neto has lit this one up just before the break.

And that’s the first half! Hull City trail 0-1 as Chelsea take a slender lead into the break.

Neto’s strike made the difference, and Hull will need to lift their game if they want to turn this around in the second half. The stage is set for an intriguing second act.

And Chelsea double their advantage just after the restart.

Pedro Neto is back at it, whipping in a teasing cross from the corner. Jorrel Hato times his run perfectly at the near post, rises above everyone, and powers a header into the bottom right corner. Clinical, unstoppable, and beautifully executed.

Hull City now find themselves two goals down, and Chelsea are striding with confidence. This could get uncomfortable fast for the home side.

And Chelsea aren’t holding back, it’s 3-0 in the 59th minute.

Liam Delap slides a perfect pass into the box, finding Estêvão in space. The young forward doesn’t hesitate, rifling a left-footed shot straight into the top centre of the net. Power, precision, and ruthless timing, the Blues are absolutely dominating now.

Hull City are staring down the barrel, and the Tigers’ fightback looks like it’s going to be a tall order.

Chelsea put the game completely out of reach, it’s 4-0 in the 71st minute.

Liam Delap again picks out the run, threading a clever pass into the centre of the box. Pedro Neto times it perfectly, tucks a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner, and sends the Blues fans into a frenzy.

Hull City are completely overwhelmed now, and Chelsea are cruising with absolute authority.

Hull City finally try to spark something in the 82nd minute.

Kieran Dowell steps up on the right edge of the box and fires a right-footed shot, hoping to breach the Chelsea defence. But the Blues are alert, the attempt is blocked, and the Tigers’ fightback is still struggling to ignite.

And we’re heading into the final stretch, the fourth official signals three minutes of added time.

Hull City will need a late miracle if they want to rescue something from this one, but Chelsea look firmly in control as the clock ticks down.

That’s a wrap from Hull! Chelsea stormed past the Tigers 4-0, Pedro Neto’s hat-trick the highlight of a commanding display. We’ll be back with more live blogs soon, until then, bye-bye.
