Milner denies Hull win; Blues stretch lead at top after victory at Villa

Manchester City’s Barclays Premier League title hopes suffered another setback as they needed an stoppage-time equaliser from James Milner to snatch a 1-1 draw at home to struggling Hull.

David Meyler capitalised on poor City defending to fire Steve Bruce’s side ahead in the 35th minute, thus condemning City to a fifth match without a win in all competitions.
