Great result @ the KC for Hull City


It was good to see Hull City back to winning ways against Leeds it was Jon Parkin who rose to head home 14 minutes from the end of a passionate Yorkshire derby. Hull frustrated the visitors for long spells and Parkin, who had earlier seen a goal controversially ruled out, was on the mark to give the hosts a deserved win.

Leeds, who have now failed to win any of their last five games, appear to have lost form at the worst time. United started the game strongly though and a curling left-footed free-kick from Eddie Lewis forced Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill into a full-length save. At the other end, Parkin latched on to a flick-on to volley superbly into the top corner, but he was denied by the offside flag.

However, Hull always looked dangerous and, with time ticking away, Green lobbed in a good cross from the right and Parkin squeezed a far post header beyond Sullivan. Leeds poured forward, but the closest they came to grabbing an equaliser was when substitute David Healy's drilled free-kick flew just wide in the final minute.
