    • FT But there is to be no late drama - an exciting game comes to and end with a draw prehaps the right result.
    • 90+2 Hull actually doing the late pressing here...
    • 90' Into stoppage time now...
    • 88' Myhill can only punch a long Arteta free out to Osman and the midfielder screams one just over the ball.
    • 87' The Yak is off and on comes Vaughan.
    • 85' Fellini booked for a foul about 30 yards out - half a chance here for Hull - oh but they play the ball short and the eventual cross is cleared.
    • 84' Saha - who has been very lively since coming on - fires into the side-netting after a long ball fell to him. Myhill had flapped and was out of position but the angle was very tough.
    • 81' Hull bring on Boeteng for King as they look to tighten things up - Everton are pressing for a winner.
    • 79' A few things happened just before the goal - Saha felt he could have had a penalty when he felt he was clipped by Zayatte and Hull brought on Garcia from Mendy.
    • 78' EVERTON ARE LEVEL - Superb link play by Saha and Yakubu and the Yak puts in a cross that Osman turns in from close range.
    • 75' Everton now really pressing - Arteta with a clever short corner to Neville who puts in a low ball - it bounces around the area but Myhill finally gets his hands on it.
    • 73' Everton back in the match - Cahill has scored with an effort from six yards out - Myhill pushed it onto the bar and it drops over the line. Or did it? Very close call even looking at the replay but it looked like it might just be over.
    • 69' Hull make a change Cousin off and Folan on.
    • 67' The ball falls nicely to Lescott on the edge of the area but he screws his effort well wide. You would have preferred a forward player in that position.
    • 66' Arteta is usually so good from dead balls but he has been poor enough today - he has just failed to put another free past the first man.
    • 63' Saha show his pace to get in behind the Hull defence and he fires a good shot at a tough angle but Myhill gets down to make a very good save. Good play all-around.
    • 62' The pattern continutes - Everton with all the possession but no chances. People were saying that Hull were going to be "another Derby" but Phil Brown really has this side organised.
    • 58' Cahill fires another poor shot wide of the target - frustration mounting for Everton.
    • 57' Hull sitting back now but they are very well organised and Everton are not showing the type of form that would make you think they can comeback here.
    • 52' Hull have a spot of bother getting rid of an Arteta free but then Yakubu is charged with a foul.
    • 50' Everton really up against it now - can Saha making his debut - help Everton get back into this.
    • 48' HULL SCORE AGAIN AND IT IS A COMEDY GOAL. Again it comes from a corner - Howard, Neville and Osman but NO HULL PLAYER go for the same ball and it looks like it is Neville who heads it into his own net - might have hit a bit of Osman too - either way - an awful goal to concede.
    • 46' Myhill needs treatment as he gets banged by Yakubu after the Nigerian striker tried to get on the end of a flick on from Fellini. He is ok though.
    • 46' Castillo and Baines are the two players who have gone off.
    • 46' And we are back underway - Everton have made two changes with Saha and Lescott coming on.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle. David Moyes will not be happy with this but impressive again from Hull City.
    • 45' Yakubu gets his head on a cross from the right but he is off balance and Myhill can safely gather before Cahill gets on the end of it.
    • 42' The game just in a scrappy spell at the moment - Hull will take that though.
    • 38' Another nice spell of Everton play ends with a poor final ball. They are showing flashes of quality in this match but not enough to consistently worry Hull.
    • 35' With Chelsea losing to Manchester United - Hull might be just TWO POINTS off the top of the table tonight if they can hang on here.
    • 33' Cahill sneaks in behind the defence to head a Arteta free towards goal but he heads wide and was offside anyway.
    • 31' Jagielka now needs to dive in and make a good challenge to bloke a Cousin's shot from close range as Hull continue to boss proceedings.
    • 28' Everton looking a little panicky at the back now - they struggle with a whipped ball in from Marney before finally clearing away.
    • 26' Hull with a free kick on the edge of the area - King curls it around the wall but is goes just wide of the target.
    • 25' Baines tries his luck with a shot from 35 yards - miles wide though and Everton need to be more patient than that.
    • 22' Yakubu with a powerful half-volley from the edge of the area after getting on the end of a flick on but Myhill is there to bat it away.
    • 18' GOAL FOR HULL - the fairytale continues!! Dean Marney with a simple corner to the back post and Michael Turner manages to get above everybody and head into the roof of the net despite a number of Everton players on the line.
    • 15' Hull starting to comeback into this match a bit now but Everton still look powerful in midfield.
    • 12' Lovely patient build-up play from Everton - Phil Neville down the right then cuts back a clever low ball to Osman inside the box - the Everton man has a great chance to score but pulls his effort just wide.
    • 8' Everton enjoy the better of things now - but they have still to make Myhill work - the latest attack ends as Osman fires a cross over and wide.
    • 5' Nice run from Arteta put when it comes to shooting from the edge of the box he fires well over.
    • 4' First Everton shot on target comes from new signing Fellaini but there is no power on the effort and Myhill gets down easily to save.
    • 2' Bright start from Hull and Mendy comes close with an early header - Good work from Halmosi down the left - he whips in a cross and Mendy beats his man but can only head straight at Howard. Half-a-chance that.
    • 1' And off we go...
    • - See the teams below - both teams just coming out now.
    • - Welcome to the KC stadium as Hull City look to continue their dream start to the season against an Everton side who may be tired after their UEFA Cup exploits in the week.
