Wes Morgan should have been quicker to close him down, but it was another unnecessary goal to give away – one which summed up the fragility of a back line missing the protection provided by a midfielder with excellent reading of the game.
Hull City: Jakupovic 7; MOTM Elmohamady 8, Livermore 8, Davies 7, Robertson 7; Clucas 7; Snodgrass 8, Huddlestone 7, Meyler 7, Diomande 7; A Hernandez 7.
