McBurnie ends drought as Hull's home resilience continues

Oli McBurnie's 24th-minute penalty, his first Premier League goal in over 900 days, gave Hull City a deserved lead at the MKM Stadium. The striker confidently picked out the bottom right corner after Aaron Hickey fouled Tim Iroegbunam inside the area.

Brentford responded after the break and equalised in the 63rd minute through Dango Ouattara, who slotted home under minimal pressure following some inattentive defending from the hosts. Jaidon Anthony pushed for a second for the visitors, forcing a save from Konstantinos Tzolakis.

Late on, Mohamed-Ali Cho delivered a cross to Joe Gelhardt, but his off-target shot ensured both sides shared the spoils. The result leaves Hull 10th on 10 points and Brentford 6th on 11 points.
