Hull City moved back into the top four of the Premier League after a 1-0 win over West Ham at the KC Stadium. More
90+3 And that is the final whistle! Hull beat West Ham and the new-boys move third!
82' HULL SUB: Cousin off for Garcia; WEST HAM SUB: Sears on for Etherington.
73' HULL SUB: Geovanni off for Halmosi
71' HULL SUB: Hughes comes on for Boateng.
69' Boateng on the centre-left, he takes a touch and sees Marney's far-post run so lofts a great ball in for him, and Marney controls AND RIFLES A LOW SHOT OFF THE INSIDE OF THE POST FOR 2-0! But no, the ref has blown for an infringement, he signals handball by Marney.
67' A West Ham counter is started by Parker who frees Cole on the left, he holds off one challenge, then another, brilliant from Cole who's in the box now and he lofts a delicate ball TO ETHERINGTON WITH A FAR-POST VOLLEY BUT SIDE NETTING! Half the ground thought that was in!
61' Zayatte sees yellow for Hull. The free-kick results in nothing though, headed clear by the home defence.
55' Hull are really growing in confidence after that goal, and Boateng highlights this by picking up the ball on halfway, running at the West Ham defence and unleashing a rising drive from the edge of the box that flies just wide of the angle of post and bar!
52' West Ham break down the right, good run by Behrami who skins Dawson and as Zayatte slides in slips a near-post ball in for Cole who has his back to goal, turns on a sixpence and rattles the finish off the underside of the bar! It bounces just the right side of the goal-line for Hull and they clear!
50' Corner to Hull on the right, Dawson to take, he swings it to the far end of the six-yard box and TURNER RISES UNMARKED TO SLAM THE HEADER PAST GREEN FOR 1-0! A typical Hull goal, great delivery but where was the marking?
48' The ball is on the Hull left and played diagonally to KING ON THE EDGE OF THE BOX WITH A VOLLEY BUT JUST WIDE! Great effort from King.
46' Second half underway!
45+1 That was the last action of the first half, a half which West Ham dominated but they somehow failed to score. Goalless.
45' West Ham have a throw on the left, Ilunga takes it short to Etherington who swings a cross over and COLE NODS IT DOWN TO BELLAMY WHO IS UNMARKED AND MUST SCORE BUT HE THRASHES IT OVER! Wild, wild finish from Bellamy, somehow he failed to score there.
30' Hull are all over the place after failing to clear a high ball and Cole can score but blocked by Zayatte and Bellamy flies in but his shot is blocked too!
26' Corner to West Ham, it's swung into the six-yard box and ILUNGA RISES WITH A HEADER BUT HE SENDS IT WIDE! Should have been 1-0.
25' West Ham on the offensive the ball is clipped through to Noble just inside the box and he beats Turner with a superb pirouette and he brings him down but no penalty! A corner is given but that was a peno for me.
23' Brilliant sliding tackle from Boateng back in his own area, he brings the ball away and launches a break down the left, Faubert has it but a terrible pass is intercepted by Cousin who swings over a far-post cross AND MARNEY ARRIVES WITH A SPECTACULAR VOLLEY BUT JUST WIDE!
19' Fortunately Myhill claims the corner well, he takes a drop kick and when the ball is between glove and foot Ilunga hooks it away and it's in! But the goal is disallowed and Ilunga is booked! Poor decision as the ball was not in Myhill's arms.
18' Good play again from West Ham, working it left to Ilunga who cuts inside and runs at Turner and he goes down in the box but no penalty! Rightly so, but not so correct is the decision to award a corner - it came off Ilunga's arm and should have been a goal kick.
16' Bellamy is played in on the West Ham left, he's in loads of space and has pace to burn, clever run from Cole between the defenders AND BELLAMY SLIPS IT INTO COLE UNMARKED WHO MUST SCORE BUT HE PLAYS IT STRAIGHT INTO MYHILL'S ARMS! Terrible miss, he had time and space and was only 10 yards out!
10' Hull break again down the left after a quick ball into the channel from Dawson, King is in loads of space as Faubert is nowehere and he drills a low cross that dissects Upson and Green but Cousin can't get there! He goes down but that was never a penalty.
3' Great run down the right by Behrami who swings in a cross that takes Dawson out AND COLE BUT HE CAN'T GET A TOE ON IT! Almost an early goal for the Hammers.
1' Match underway!
