Hull City held by Brentford as winless streak reaches six

Hull City's wait for a Premier League win continued as they drew 1-1 with Brentford at the MKM Stadium on 25 October 2026. Ollie McBurnie's first-half penalty was cancelled out by Dango Outtara's first goal of the season, leaving the Tigers with 10 points from eight matches and a winless run of six league games.

  • Date: 25 October 2026
  • Competition: English Premier League, week 8
  • Venue: MKM Stadium
  • Result: Hull City 1-1 Brentford
  • Goals: McBurnie 24' (pen), Outtara 63'
  • Next: Hull City host Ipswich; Brentford host Nottingham Forest

McBurnie off the mark but Tigers pegged back

Hull City took the lead in the 24th minute when striker Ollie McBurnie converted a penalty, scoring his first goal of the season. The hosts held that advantage until the 63rd minute, when Brentford equalised through Dango Outtara, who also claimed his first goal of the campaign. Neither side could find a winner, and the points were shared at the MKM Stadium.

The draw means Hull City's winless run in the league now stands at six matches. They have collected 10 points from their opening eight fixtures. Brentford, meanwhile, extended their own winless sequence to three matches and moved on to 11 points.

Winless run deepens for Hull City

Hull City's inability to convert a lead into three points is becoming a recurring theme. McBurnie's penalty provided a platform, but the Tigers could not hold on. The equaliser from Outtara leaves head coach and owner Acun Ilıcalı with plenty to ponder as the fixtures come thick and fast.

With 10 points from eight games, Hull City sit in mid-table, but the six-match winless streak is a concern. The upcoming home match against Ipswich represents a chance to arrest the slide. Brentford, three points better off, will also be looking to return to winning ways when they host Nottingham Forest.

Talking points

  • McBurnie breaks duck: The striker's first goal of the season gave Hull City the lead, but it was not enough for victory.
  • Outtara responds: Brentford's equaliser came from Dango Outtara, also his first of the season, highlighting the visitors' resilience.
  • Winless runs: Hull City's streak extends to six league games without a win, while Brentford's is now three.

What happens next

Hull City will host Ipswich in their next Premier League fixture, hoping to end their winless run. Brentford will welcome Nottingham Forest to their home ground. Both matches will be played in the next matchweek of the league.
