    Time:90'
    • Hull City
    • Newcastle United
    • 90+2' That's it, full-time; Hull City 1-1 Newcastle at the KC Stadium. Both sides were evenly matches and a draw is probably a fair result after Geovanni and Steven Taylor's first-half strikes. Thanks for joining us!
    • 90' Two minutes to be added as both sides continue to battle away valiantly, but no chances are materialising.
    • 89' Richard Garcia is booked after clashing with Geremi and Howard Webb finds fault in the Hull midfielder's conduct.
    • 88' Duke leathers a big kick into the Newcastle half which is not dealt with, but Harper eventually shepherds the ball out for a goal-kick.
    • 86' Geremi and Enrique combine effectively down the left as Ameobi looks for the ball, but they can't find the big striker in the box.
    • 84' The game deteriorates slightly as both sides anxiously scrap around, but what it is lacking in quality, it has in urgency as the two managers urge their sides forward.
    • 81' Nicky Barmby is Phil Brown's final change as the former England midfielder replaces Bernard Mendy.
    • 79' Sam Ricketts is given a long talking to by Howard Webb after a late challenge on Martins.
    • 76' Both managers anxiously pace the touchline looking at their watches - it's hard to know whether they are content to settle for a draw right not as either side could win it.
    • 74' Michael Owen's comeback is over for today as he is replaced by Shola Ameobi in attack for Newcastle.
    • 72' Alan Smith is penalised for a tackle on Ashbee and the midfielder receives yet another warning from the long-suffering Webb.
    • 70' Phil Brown makes what, on the face of it, looks like a defensive swap, with striker Fagan replaced by midfielder Richard Garcia.
    • 68' Gutierrez feeds Enrique at the byline, but Gardner does well to intercept the dangerous cross with Owen lurking.
    • 65' A glorious opportunity is squandered by Bernard Mendy as he hits a terrible cross into the box which Harper comfortably gathers, with Manucho screaming for it in the box.
    • 63' Martins bundles his way into the Hull box, but can't get clean contact on his shot as Gardner puts him under pressure and the chance goes begging.
    • 60' Great chance for Gutierrez as he meets Martins's ball across the area with a side-foot which goes over the bar - he really should have at least hit the target.
    • 58' Ashbee and Butt continue their ongoing battle, which Alan Smith is keen to join in with too, as he kicks petulantly at his opponent.
    • 56' Zayatte is booked for a late lunge at Nicky Butt, who must feel everyone is out to get him right now.
    • 54' Phil Brown makes an early change as Manucho, who was unlucky not to start the game, coming on for the ineffectual Daniel Cousin.
    • 52' Manucho, who has been a successful super-sub for Hull of late, is warming up vigorously on the touchline.
    • 50' Butt is clattered by Ian Ashbee late, but Howard Webb sees fit to just award a free-kick, Smith won't be happy.
    • 48' Fagan is as industrious as ever, charging down the left to win a corner for Hull.
    • 46' The second half is underway at the KC and straight away Alan Smith gets booked, I'm surprised it took so long!
    • 45+2' Cousin attempts an overhead kick inside the Newcastle box, which flashes wide, but the home fans love the attempt as the half-time whistle is blown. 1-1 it is at the break.
    • 45+1' Coloccini tugs down Daniel Cousin on halfway and gets booked for his cynicism.
    • 44' There will be two added minutes at the end of this first half, as Newcastle continue to press forward, feeling buoyant after their equaliser.
    • 42' Fabricio Coloccini is almost caught out by Craig Fagan after the defender slips, but he recovers just in time.
    • 40' Jonas Gutierrez does brilliantly to track Sam Ricketts's run down the right, and makes a well-timed tackle to dispossess the defender in his own box.
    • 38' GOAL!!! Steven Taylor equalises for Newcastle! The defender steals in front of Zayatte to meet Nicky Butt's cross from the right and beat Matt Duke at his near post with a sliding toe-poke.
    • 36' Newcastle are finally coming into this with a good spell of possession in the home side's half.
    • 34' Good opportunity for Michael Owen as Geremi whips in a cross from the right and the England forward heads over the bar under a challenge from Michael Turner.
    • 32' Geovanni comes close to doubling Hull's lead with a nicely whipped effort from the resultant free-kick, but it drifts narrowly wide of Harper's near post.
    • 31' Hull deal with a ball into their box with minimal fuss before setting off another attack of their own; Geremi, who has played very poorly so far, fouls Geovanni to concede a dangerous free-kick.
    • 29' Geremi is now booked, but this one is far more clear-cut as the Cameroon midfielder challenges Zayatte very high and recklessly.
    • 27' Craig Fagan is booked by Webb for protesting after he was clattered in an aerial challenge with Steven Taylor - that was a strange one.
    • 25' Chris Hughton's side have really not settled down yet, and Owen and Martins have barely seen the ball in attack.
    • 23' Bernard Mendy races down the right and beats Jose Enrique, but Howard Webb surprisingly gives a goal-kick, which bemuses the Frenchman.
    • 21' Anthony Gardner wins another header in the visitors' box as Hull look evermore dangerous with their direct style.
    • 19' Ricketts looks to launch in a long throw-in from the right and Newcastle again look shakey under a high ball, but Fagan's header goes over.
    • 17' Bernard Mendy attempts a hugely ambitious long-range drive which sails into the stand behind Steve Harper's goal: Phil Brown is not overly impressed.
    • 15' Obafemi Martins comes very close to equalising after Jonas Gutierrez and Geremi exchanged intricute passes inside the area, before the Nigerian flashed a powerful shot just over the bar.
    • 13' Sam Ricketts covers very efficiently as Michael Owen showed a precise touch to control Steven Taylor's long ball on the edge of the Hull box.
    • 11' There are some very glum faces on the Magpies bench as they rue their side's early set-back.
    • 9' GOAL!!! Geovanni puts the home side ahead with a superbly-worked goal! The midfielder fed Craig Fagan out on the left in acres of space, who then got to the byline and delivered a pinpoint cross to the back post where Geovanni headed past Steve Harper!
    • 8' Kamil Zayatte tracks back to dispossess Smith in a dangerous position just outside the box - good awareness from the left-back.
    • 6' Kevin Kilbane shepherds the ball back to Matt Duke with some very sharp defending as Geremi stormed forward and was looking to pounce inside the box.
    • 4' After Ashbee came off worse after that early challenge with Smith, Howard Webb clamps down on Newcastle's over-exuberance with a stern warning to Nicky Butt after the midfielder fouls Geovanni.
    • 3' The cameras as usual pick out Mike Ashley, who is sat in the posh seats with a Black n White scarf on - he's just a master of PR that man.
    • 1' We're underway at the KC Stadium and immediately Hull captain Ian Ashbee clashes with Alan Smith as the game gets off to a flyer.
