    Time:90'
    • Fulham
    • Hull City
    • - The Hull fans are singing 'We are staying up' as they steal three points and only their third ever win over Fulham.
    • 90+1 It was a cross from the right from Garcia and it travelled across the box and Manucho was there unmarked to tap it in!!
    • 90+1 GOAL! Manucho nicks it at the death!!
    • 90 Subs coming on left, right and centre here as the game heads towards a draw!
    • 89' Late subs for both sides as time runs out for a winner.
    • 88' Davies booked for lunge on Geovanni
    • 88' Fulham fans urging their side on for a late winner as more subs are prepared.
    • 87' Strange incident in the corner of the pitch as Fagan sits on the ball - seemingly to waste a bit of time!
    • 87' Dempsey has another shot and Duke is equal to it again!
    • 84' Zayatte was the man who almost got the header in for Hull.
    • 83' Etuhu booked for a foul on Geovanni and from the free kick the ball is almost nodded in at the far post, but it goes agonisingly wide!
    • 81' Manucho has a go, left footed this time, but this one was too high to trouble Schwarzer
    • 78' Hangeland booked for a tough challenge on Manucho
    • 77' Manucho gets a shot in with his first touch, but it flies wide
    • 76' Hull make a change as Cousin departs for Manucho
    • 76' Duke called into action again, as he claims a right wing cross at full length.
    • 74' Nice build up from Hull leads to a corner for the visitors, but Schwarzer claims again.
    • 72' Geovanni wins a free kick for Hull somewhat questionably, much to the annoyance of the home fans, but it comes to nothing as the game becomes scrappy.
    • 70' Free kick for the home side 40 yards out is taken by Murphy into the box, but he looks a bit miffed as the ball goes harmlessly out for a goal kick.
    • 69' Hull appear to have ridden the early Fulham storm and another cross from the right is claimed under pressure by Schwarzer.
    • 68' Zayette tries his luck, but hits the proverbial corner flag with that effort.
    • 67' Hull on the attack and Mendy just fails to get to the cross under pressure from Hangeland.
    • 65' Another Dempsey shot from the left hand side flies high, wide and handsome over Duke's crossbar.
    • 63' It should have been the opener for Fulham, as Davies' cross went across the face of the goal and no one was there to tap in to an empty net!
    • 61' A few minutes of Hull possession must be a relief for Phil Brown, but they can't make it count.. yet.
    • 59' A mix-up at the back for Fulham leads to a chance for Hull on the break and Cousin had a chance, but blasted it over!
    • 57' It's Konchesky with a long range shot this time and Duke had to tip that one over as well! How long can Hull hold out?!

    • 52' The Fulham fans wanted a penalty in that last incident when Kilbane appeared to impede Zamora, but nothing doing.
    • 51' Patient play from Fulham leads to a half chance for Dempsey after a cross was defelcted into his pass. Difficult angle though!
    • 49' Fulhma on top again and Zamora chases down a back pass from Turner, but Duke gets there first
    • 47' Johnson tries his luck early on, but Duke makes the save and its a corner to Fulham!
    • 46' Hull kick off and immediately pump the ball into the box, but Schwarzer is equal to it. No changes for the second half.
    • 45+2 Mike Jones blows for half time and Fulham have had the better of the play overall, but without creating any clear cut chances so far.
    • 45+2 Zamora sets up Johnson, who sneaks past Ricketts, but his shot slides past the face of the goal.
    • 45+1 Another Fulham corner leads to nothing as half time approaches.
    • 45' The home fans are getting a bit frustrated at Fulham's territorial superiority without an end result.
    • 43' A good period of play for Fulham leads to a shot from Davies that flies just over from the edge of the box,
    • 41' Fulham on top at the moment and it's all hands on deck for the Hull rearguard just now. Hull keeping plenty of men behind the ball.
    • 39' It's cleared three times by Hull, but Fulham keep the pressure on down the right hand side until Pantsil is penalised for a foul throw.
    • 38' Corner for Fulham after a Dempsey shot is deflected wide.
    • 37' Hull enjoying a decent few minitues of possession, but they can't find that killer pass and another cross goes long.
    • 35' An easy claim for Schwarzer after Mendy tries a cross from the right hand side for Hull and the Australian keeper hasn't been made to work yet.
    • 33' Etuhu trys his luck from long distance after the ball broke to him in space, but the midfielder scuffed his effort and it goes well wide.
    • 32' Zamora causing problems down the right for Fulham and Kilbane had to be alert to get a foot in for Hull.
    • 30' Hull must be pleased about the amount of fans they've brought to this one. They are offering very vocal support from the neutral end and the away end.
    • 29' After a slow start, this has picked up considerably and Geovanni lets fly with a long range effort, which goes out for a corner!
    • 27' Fulham go close again, as good work down the right leads to a chance for Dempsey, but a good block from Ashbee saves the vistors!!
    • 25' Great cross from Konchesky finds Johnson unmarked and a diving header from the former Everton man flies just wide of the post! Unlucky Fulham there!
    • 24' Hangeland fouls Fagan in the centre circle for a Hull free kick, but the ball into the Fulham box is cleared comfortably.
    • 22' It's Fulham's turn to earn a corner now and Zayette gets injured clearing his lines, but he looks OK to continue.
    • 20' Hull on the attack again down the right hand side with Mendy and Geovanni, but the cross gets deflected and its easy for Schwarzer.
    • 18' Hull earn their first corner of the game and Cousin gets his head to it from close range, but the ball flies over!

    • 16' Fulham try a quick free kick just outside the Hull area, but are made to retake it.
    • 12' Zamora fires wide left footed from a decent position, as Fulham crank up the pressure!
    • 11' A patient piece of possession from Fulham ends tamely after a good-looking build up and this one is yet to spark into life.
    • 9' Johnson strays offside in a promising position down the right hand side for Fulham, who are yet to threaten the Hull goal.
    • 8' It's a freezing cold night at Craven Cottage and there's quite a few players sporting gloves out there. The weather isn't stopping the Hull fans cheering their side on from the Putney End though.
    • 6' Geovanni hits it right footed and it flies narrowly wide of Schwarzer's right hand post!
    • 5' Mendy goes down challenged by Etuhu and Hull have a free kick in a promising position.
    • 3' Pantsil takes a knock in a challenge with Geovanni and the home fans aren't happy about the challenge.
    • 1' Fulham kick off and Simon Davies looks for Zamora, but the ball goes through to Duke for a first touch
    • - Hull are seeking their first double over their hosts since 1928 and their first ever double in top flight football, having beaten Fulham 2-1 at the KC Stadium on the opening day of the season.
