Hull City 1 - Leicester City 0

**ABOUT TIME THIS HAPPENED**

A spectacular strike from Michael Bridges gave bottom-of the Championship Hull City their first win in 12 league games. The last time the Tigers tasted a victory was when they had overcome Leeds United on April Fools Day.

Their winner tonight arrived against the run of play in the 58th minute when Bridges latched on to a loose ball and with Leicester defenders backing off the former Sunderland and Leeds star advanced to let fly with a 25-yard drive which rocketed into Paul Henderson's top right-hand corner. It was his first goal for the club since arriving in a £350,000 move from Carlisle on transfer deadline day.

Although Leicester dominated much of the game they failed to make significant headway against a resolute Hull side whose defensive tactics included fielding two holding midfielders. On the half hour mark Boaz Myhill was Hull's saviour when he bravely blocked a Stephen Hughes' close-range effort.

Before the half-time whistle Leicester keeper Henderson had been called into action just the once on 37 minutes when he reacted well to beat away Nicky Forster's drive.
It was a similar story after the re-start with Leicester enjoying plenty of possession but failing to carve out decent chances.

They paid the price with that goal from Bridges just before the hour mark. I was also a bit dissappointed to see Nick Barmby having to spend the whole match on the substitutes bench!
