Hull City 1 - Leicester City 1

Unfortunately a second-half header from Patrick McCarthy rescued a point for Leicester as the Foxes rode their luck at the KC Stadium.

Hull hit the crossbar three times in a one-sided first half, before Craig Fagan eventually gave them the lead six minutes into the second half. However, Leicester dominated the closing stages of the game and deservedly drew level through McCarthy 20 minutes into the second half.

A superb cross from Stuart Elliott was headed on to the top of the crossbar by Fagan and then Elliott himself headed on to the other side of the bar following a free kick from Andy Dawson. Hull continued to threaten and visiting goalkeeper Robert Douglas produced an excellent save diving to his left to deny Fagan before Elliott's thumping header grazed the top of the woodwork yet again.

I think it was a bit unfortunate on the day that Hull couldn't make more of the chances Leicester gave to them at home, but that is they say football!
