Phil Neville highlighted weaknesses in Chelsea's formation that Hull City exploited to earn a 2-2 draw against Chelsea.

Chelsea has now gone 20 consecutive league matches without a clean sheet, their worst run in 65 years. Neville used this to praise Hull City's attacking play and highlight the vulnerability of Xavi Alonso's defensive setup.

He said, "Before the match, we thought Hull City would play defensively, but they didn't."

"I think they clearly identified weaknesses in Chelsea's defense. There was plenty of space on the right side, behind Moisés Caicedo."

"They created chances, pressed hard up the pitch, and were difficult to play against. I thought Hull City's tactical performance today was excellent."

"I think it was top-level managerial tactical execution. You know, sometimes newly promoted teams just defend stubbornly."

"They sometimes use man-marking, sometimes play with a deep defensive block. Their defenders rarely pushed forward."

"But what impressed me most today was their attacking play. I think tactically and offensively, they found weaknesses, found space."

"I think they deserved more than a point."
