Hull City Round-Up, Sunday 25th October: Tigers Held by Brentford as Winless Run Stretches to Seven

Hull City had to settle for a point on home soil as Brentford fought back to draw 1-1 at the MKM Stadium on Sunday (Sky Sports) (BBC Sport) (HullLive) (The Guardian). Oli McBurnie put the Tigers in front from the penalty spot in the 24th minute, only for Dango Ouattara to level things up for the Bees in the second half (Sky Sports) (The Guardian).

It means Hull remain unbeaten at home in the Premier League, extending that record to three successive draws on their own patch, though their wait for a win now stretches to seven games (BBC Sport) (The Guardian). The Guardian notes it was a response of sorts after the defeat at Fulham, with HullLive adding that the performance was an improved one from the hosts (HullLive) (The Guardian).

On the individual front, HullLive's player ratings picked out Semi Ajayi as one of the standout performers in an encouraging display at the back (HullLive). Sky Sports and the BBC both carried reports and highlights of the game, with the draw also extending Brentford's own unbeaten sequence (Sky Sports) (BBC Sport).

Overall it was a case of positives and frustrations in equal measure for Hull - another clean sheet-free draw at home, but at least a point banked against a Brentford side who continued their own good away form (BBC Sport) (The Guardian). Attention will now turn to whether the Tigers can finally turn some of these home stalemates into victories as the season goes on.
