Chelsea's defensive frailties were laid bare once again after the club dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Hull at Stamford Bridge, with Match of the Day pundit Ashley Williams delivering a damning verdict on the Blues' backline.

Williams described Chelsea's defence as "weak and disjointed," arguing that the unit has been "struggling" to hold its shape and deal with opposition attacks. The former Wales international offered his analysis following yet another shaky performance at the back from Enzo Maresca's side.

The result means Chelsea failed to collect maximum points from a fixture many would have expected them to win comfortably at home. Conceding twice to Hull underlined the concerns surrounding their defensive solidity, a problem that has persisted throughout the season.

For a club with ambitions of competing at the top end of the Premier League, shipping goals against lower-ranked opponents sends a troubling signal. Chelsea's inability to keep a clean sheet and their vulnerability from set pieces and open play alike remain pressing concerns heading into their upcoming fixtures.
