Hull City 1-1 Brentford: Dango Ouattara cancels out an early McBurnie penalty

Hull City led for almost 40 minutes before Brentford found a way back. Oliver McBurnie converted a 24th-minute penalty to put the home side ahead, but Dango Ouattara's volley, teed up by Igor Thiago, levelled it in the 63rd minute and the points were shared.

It was Brentford who had the better of the chances after going behind, with six shots on target to Hull's two across the match, but neither side could find a second goal in a game that stayed open to the final whistle.
