Hull City 2 Leicester City 0

Long time no post, but I have been very busy! Hull City sealed a first win in five league games at the KC Stadium thanks to a first-half goal from Caleb Folan and a second-half strike by substitute Fraizer Campbell. I was in attendance at the KC Stadium to see this game so I was happy with the result.

The home side took the lead on 17 minutes when Dean Windass flicked a through ball over the top of the Leicester defence towards Folan who chased it down and registered his first goal for the Tigers as he neatly slotted the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

Hull were given the chance to double their lead in the 78th minute when Bruno N'Gotty brought down Windass in the box with a late challenge. Windass took the penalty himself but his right-footed effort hit the post. However, substitute Campbell was the first to react, and the Manchester United loanee fired home the rebound from close range to confirm Hull's victory.
