    Time:90'
    • Hull City
    • Tottenham Hotspur
    • 90'+4 That's it! All over at the KC Stadium and Spurs have a valuable away victory!
    • 90' Time running out for Hull... can they come up with a late equaliser? Four minutes of added time to be played.
    • 89' Woodgate takes a Corluka elbow to the face and blood starts pouring from a wound above his eye! And Dawson comes on to replace him.
    • 87' A double substitution now... Geovanni on for Hull while Zokora replaces Lennon for Spurs.
    • 85' GOAL! WOODGATE PUTS SPURS AHEAD! What a header! He rises above every one else to thump a header home from Assou Ekotto's inch-perfect cross! 2-1 now with just five minutes to play!
    • 82' Ouch! Dawson and Pavlyuchenko clash heads and the Hull man hits the deck! Being Russian, and therefore extremely hard, the Spurs man walks away seemingly unpertubed by the blow.
    • 79' Phil Brown makes another change... Manucho for Garcia.
    • 77' Off the post! Oooh! Zayatte gets his head to a corner but is denied by the upright with Cudicini beaten all ends up!
    • 75' A quarter of an hour to go, and the next goal could be a vital one in terms of these two clubs' seasons...
    • 72' Spurs make a change now... Pavlyuchenko comes on to replace Bent.
    • 69' Jenas takes a hearty challenge by Zayatte right in the back... that's late, but the referee decided not to punish the Hull man.
    • 67' And Hull make a change now... Mendy comes on to replace Cousin, leaving Garcia to plough a lone furrow up front.
    • 66' Oooh! Off the bar by Corluka! Modric is the architect once again, clipping in a free-kick that his compatriot reaches with a header... only to see it hit the bar!
    • 62' Spurs claim a penalty as Modric's shot strikes the upper arm of Turner! But the ref waves play on...
    • 60' Here's another corner for Hull... and more importantly another chance for the hosts to test Cudicini... the Italian slaps the ball away to safety!
    • 57' Great ball in by Garcia... but this time Cudicini looks solid and claims the cross imperiously!
    • 54' Duke makes a hash of a clearance... it goes straight to Keane... he takes one touch before trying to lob the ball into an empty goal! But he pulls his effort wide and Duke is spared his blushes....
    • 51' Oooh! What a strike by Palacios! He absolutely leathers a volley from the edge of the box! It's going in until Gardner gets in the way... great block!
    • 50' Spurs break down to the other end and win another corner! Real end to end stuff at the beginning of the second half!
    • 49' And then Hull win a corner at the other end... a goalmouth scramble ensues with Cudicini not looking too sure of himself! Ashbee fires goalwards but it's well blocked by two Spurs players!
    • 47' Bent brings Duke into action with a sharp turn and shot! Better from Spurs!
    • 46' No changes to tell you about at the break... it's as you were.
    • 46' Back underway at the KC Stadium!
    • 45'+2 And there goes the half-time whistle... it's all square at the break after an entertaining opening period!
    • 45' Dawson has a crack on goal from the resulting free-kick... over the bar though and Cudicini isn't troubled.
    • 44' Kilbane surges forward now for Hull... danger here... until Modric clips his ankles and he goes down! Booking for Modric, although replays show it to be a harsh one.
    • 42' Ashbee sees yellow for a high foot on Modric... he can't have any arguments about that one - his ninth of the season.
    • 41' Oooh! Lovely play by Ricketts, who starts a quick break for Hull... he plays it out to Marney before heading into the box... Marney finds him with a well delivered cross but his header glances wide of the far post!
    • 40' Modric does well from a short Spurs corner again... he jinks outside before firing in a low cross... cleared this time by the Hull defence, but they really need to be more careful with there short corners...
    • 38' Roman Pavlyuchenko - he who doesn't rate English food or women - is out on the sidelines warming up for Spurs.
    • 36' Marney breaks for Hull now... he feeds Ricketts on the overlap... but the full-back's attempted cross is blocked by Assou-Ekotto.
    • 34' Super ball forward by Marney looking for Garcia... but the Aussie fluffs his attempted volley and it goes wide.
    • 32' It's a wide open game now and there for the taking. Hull seem to be in the ascendency.
    • 29' Cousin! Oooh, what a strike from the Gabon international! He hits it first time from the edge of the area and goes very close to finding the target!
    • 28' Spurs fans will be having kittens at that Cudicini error... but surely it wasn't bad enough to prompt chants of 'bring back Gomes'!
    • 27' GOAL! IT'S AN EQUALISER FOR HULL! Cudicini again flaps at the corner... it ricochets towards goal where Turner is on hand to sweep the ball across the line! Bad mistake from the keeper, but Hull won't care! 1-1 now!
    • 26' Cudicini flaps at it and Palacios concedes another corner, only this time from the other side...
    • 25' This looks like a promising attack for Hull... and they win a corner as Corluka puts behind when he doesn't really need to.
    • 23' Oh dear, the ref's having a nightmare here... he signals for a Spurs throw-in when the ball clearly, very clearly, went out for a corner! Perhaps a visit to Specsavers is necessary...
    • 21' Ashbee trips Keane as Spurs threaten to break away again... that's a timely foul from the Hull skipper considering Bent was about to latch onto the loose ball.
    • 18' Hull nearly hit back straight away! Zayatte bares down on goal... but he overruns it slightly, allowing Cudicini to come off this line and make the save at the Hull man's feet!
    • 17' GOAL! LENNON FIRES SPURS AHEAD! It's a clever short corner, taken by Modric to Keane, who gives it back to the Croat... he looks up and finds Lennon on the edge of the box and the England winger picks his spot to find the corner with a crisp strike past Duke! 1-0 Spurs!
    • 15' Bent now heads off on a run towards goal... Gardner is equal to his pace though and slides in to make a crucial challenge... corner to Spurs though!
    • 13' Hull can't create anything from the corners, but soon after Woodgate nods back to goal... only there's s problem: Cudicini's come out to claim it himself! Cue a moment of mild panic before the keeper recovers, scrambles back and grabs the ball!
    • 12' Great stuff from Ricketts... the Welshman delivers two cracking balls into the middle in quick succession... the second of which Corluka is forced into heading behind for another corner!
    • 11' Both head off the pitch for a further dousing from the magic sponge but they'll be okay and are back on before you can say "what on earth is so special about the water in that bucket?".
    • 10' Palacios rises with Zayatte for an aerial challenge... there's a clash of heads and both players are floored...
    • 8' Spurs win a corner which Modric will take... but the down by the corner flag aren't happy with where the Croat has placed the ball... he doesn't care though and goes short to Keane, who wins another one... but nothing comes of it and Hull come away with the ball.
    • 7' Oh dear, Dawson is late on Lennon again and this time he's shown a yellow! Not good news for the Hull defender given that he has a further 83 minutes to keep tabs on the tricky Spurs winger.
    • 6' Dawson slides in on Lennon on the Spurs right... that looks like a bad challenge... but the ref keeps his cards close to his chest...
    • 5' Bright start from the hosts...
    • 4' Chance for Hull from the first corner of the game! It comes to Garcia who has pretty much a free header, but he makes a hash of it and the ball glances off his forehead... it eventually falls to Dawson, but his shot is poor. Very poor.
    • 3' Apparently Bernard Mendy has been delayed getting to the ground... that's why he's not starting tonight! In fact, here he comes now! Just in time to take a seat on the bench.
    • 2' Both teams in their traditional colours tonight... Hull in yellow and black stripes, Spurs in all white.
    • 1' And we're off at the KC Stadium!
    • - It's so tight in the bottom half of the table at the moment, this is a crucial game for both sides... neither can afford to drop points.
    • - For Hull, Daniel Cousin returns from injury but Geovanni, match-winner when the sides met in October, is on the bench.
    • - Darren Bent partners Robbie Keane up front tonight with Roman Pavlyuchenko feeling a little niggle, while Ledley King and Carlo Cudicini return to the side.
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of tonight's Premier League clash at the KC Stadium!

  17. Any chance of 2 wins on the trot again Spurs? Hmmmm. As­ for Hull....we need teams like this in the­ premiership....they play football with passion. If our­ so called stars (overpaid s.o.b.'s) performed like­ that Spurs would be up there where they should­ be....not sodding around in relegation territory.

    From erock, on Tue 24 Feb 6:16AM

  18. Winning has little to do with talent and much more to­ do with determination, desire, committment, and a­ KNOWINGNESS that you will win. It looks like the Spurs­ are finding their KNOWINGNESS. Good job. Tough one for­ Hull though. They lost their knowingness.

    From vaiano7, on Tue 24 Feb 6:15AM

  19. Never mind Gomes, how about GoHome best idea yet, Let­ the Cud stay chewin in goal for the super spurs
