Hull City 0 - Cardiff City 1


A first-half strike by Cameron Jerome was enough to give the Bluebirds victory but they were forced to defend for much of the second half as Peter Taylor's side went looking for at least a point that would help them stay clear of the relegation area.

Hull missed a glorious chance to level. Jon Parkin raced clear of Purse and had two efforts at blasting the ball into the net from point-blank range but somehow Neil Alexander kept his shots out. He was the busiest of the two keepers and was forced to dive to his left to push out a shot from Kevin Ellison on the stroke of half time.

Hull pushed forward in the second half and Taylor threw caution to the wind in the 63rd minute by bringing on his remaining two subs. The changes had an immediate effect, with Purse forced to head away a cross from Stuart Green. So unfortunately not our day again!
