Ten-man Hull held on for a point after staging a remarkable fightback
against fellow Premier League strugglers West Ham.
The Tigers looked to be heading back into the bottom three as
West Ham raced ahead with early headed goals from Guillermo Franco
and Jack Collison at the KC Stadium.
Hull hit back when Carlton Cole deflected a Jimmy Bullard free-kick
into his own net and the game then turned on its head in the closing
two minutes of the first half.
Kamil Zayatte equalised with a powerful volley and Bullard then
struck from the penalty spot but West Ham claimed a draw through
Manuel da Costa after Bernard Mendy was sent off.
The result was enough to ensure both sides ended the day sitting
outside the relegation zone.
